POLITICS / ECONOMY: Alistair Darling's first Pre-Budget Report

Chancellor Alistair Darling has had his first go at revealing the direction of the economy under Prime Minister Gordon Brown's new look Labour. However, some of his spending plans for the next 3 years appear to be taken from the opposition's most popular policies.
