Tax credit where it's due

Now that Gordon Brown has admitted his error in abolishing the 10 per cent rate of income tax, will he admit his other mistakes when "helping the poor"? These are: refusing to repay tax credits on dividends received by individuals whose gross income was less than their personal allowance for income tax assessment; refusing to repay tax credits on PEPs and ISAs; and delaying the revaluation of properties for council tax purposes, the present bandings having been in use since 1993.
