So here it comes at last - the Next Big Tory Idea. After the NI fix it's the Big Marriage Fix. A hansome 3 quid a week for the ones who stick together, whatever the weather, is 'Modern' Dave's idea of 'Change'. Half a billion quid of additional National Debt to enable the couples who hang in however trying the circumstances, to pick up the price of a Pint each and every week of the year for the rest of their matrimonially blissful days. Did I hear somebody shout 'Major'? The grey ghost of the grey man hangs over this sparkling 'New' policy initiative like a rain cloud at a wedding. What is this obsession with Marriage? And how in anybody's name is 3 quid going to keep the shoddy show on the road?
