Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I whakamanamana ngā tamariki a David Cameron i a ia i tēnei rā i a ia e whakakahore ana i te whakaeke pōti hou a Labour mā te oati kia kaua e whakapiki i te VAT i muri i te pōtitanga whānui. I ngā pātai whakamutunga a te Pirimia i mua i te whakakorenga o te Pāremata, ka miharo a Mr Cameron ki a Ed Miliband mā te whakaae tonu e kore te tāke hokohoko e piki ake i raro i te kāwanatanga Tory. Ko te wahine a te kaiārahi Tory a Samantha me ngā tamariki a Nancy rāua ko Elwen i roto i te rārangi tūmatanui e whakanui ana i te mea pea ko tana putanga whakamutunga ki te Whare Pāremata hei Pirimia. I ahuareka rātau i a Mr Cameron e wero ana i tana hoa tauwhainga, e tohu ana i a ia ko 'te poaka a Alex Salmond' me te tawai i a ia mo tana pakanga rangatira mo te mahi mahi ki a David Miliband. I whakakahoretia e David Cameron i tenei ra te whakaekenga hou o te pooti mahi ma te oati kia kaua e whakapiki i te VAT i muri i te pooti nui. I whakamanamana ngā Mema Tory i te putanga whakamutunga o Mr Cameron ki te Pouaka Whakawhiti i mua i te pōtitanga whānui i te 7 o Mei. I whakarewahia e Labour inanahi he panui hou e whakatupato ana mo te pikinga o te VAT a Tory i muri i te pooti. Ko te reeti o te VAT kei te 20 ōrau i muri i te whakapiki a George Osborne mai i te 17.5 ōrau i tana tahua ohorere i te tau 2010. Inanahi i oati a Labour kia kaua e whakapiki i te takoha, engari kaore a Mr Osborne i whakaae ki te whai. I whakahe tika a Mr Miliband ki te Pirimia i runga i te take i tenei ra, i te tumanako ka karo te Tory i te patai. Engari i whakahokia e Mr Cameron: 'Ko nga whakautu tika e tika ana mo nga patai tika, a ko te whakautu he ae.' I werohia e ia te mahi ki te whakakore i te pikinga o te National Insurance i whakakahoretia e Mr Miliband. Engari, i ngā haora i muri i te putanga kino o te kaiārahi ki te Whare Pāremata, ka whakapuaki te kaiārahi atarangi o Labour, a Ed Balls, e whakaae ana ia i roto i te kauwhata pōti kia kaua e whakapiki i te inihua ā-motu. I whakapuakina e te kaihautū atarangi o Labour he panui hou e whakatūpato ana 'ka whakapikihia e nga Tories te VAT' hei awhina i te whakataurite i nga pukapuka. I te whakaekenga nui o te mahi ki nga mihi nui mai i nga papa Tory, ka ngana a Mr Miliband ki te whakaora i te ahuatanga ma te kii: 'Kaore tetahi e whakapono ki a ia na ona mahere whakapau kaha.'

Ka pupuhi a Cameron i te reparo a Miliband i te rā i muri i te whakarewatanga o te panui VAT a Labour.

Ka tapaina a Miliband ko te poaka a Salmon, ka tawai ki a ia mo te patu i tona tuakana. E whai ana te Rōpū Mahi ki te whakaora mā te whakakore i te pikinga o te Haumarutanga ā-Iwi.
