We Liberal Democrats are resigned to Conservatives claiming credit for policies we brought to the coalition, even as successive Tory governments since have sought to outdo them. However, we now see Labour pinching our ideas. Four days ago, Ed Davey pitched the idea of a windfall tax on oil and gas firms. Lo and behold, Rachel Reeves for Labour comes up with the very same idea this weekend.
What gets me is that certain news organisations, including the BBC, have published the notion as original, even though they had already covered the Davey proposal.
