I caught up with this week’s Question Time tonight and Sir Liam Donaldson’s suggestion of a minimum price per unit was discussed.
The reaction from the politicians on the panel was, sadly, predictable. Both Tessa Jowell and Ken Clarke made disparaging remarks about the proposal – both with an eye on the next election. Jowell is desperate to stay in power and Clarke is desperate to regain it. Neither is prepared to risk upsetting the public with such a proposal, especially during a recession.
