The Conservative Party

Very clever all these tax cuts be so when it all goes wrong and Labour will have to raise taxes they’ll look like the bad party

So the idea of levelling up lasted around 33 months.

Do they actually have a mandate for any of this?

Don't think it will be too much of a problem if they put the top rate (over £150k) to 50p.

Shameful bastards, should be dragged into the streets and beat to within an inch of their lives.

Considering just who benefits from these tax cuts, I'm not so sure. Labour could probably do quite a lot which doesn't affect the majority of voters directly.

They could easily increase Corporation Tax, reintroduce the top rate for very high earners, adjust NI (maybe by lowering it overall, but taking out the lower rate for high earners), to raise quite considerable sums, without many noticing.

From what we’re seeing and hearing, the markets and foreign investors are less than impressed.
One analyst on the BBC just used the word ’panocking’ in relation to some of her clients’ attitude to what they’ve seen.

Is "panocking" word play that I've missed or a typo?

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Hard to express quite how radical this is. Lining the pockets of their mates, selling off the next ten years so even Labour do get in they'll have concrete round their ankles, wanking themselves off to a Randian vision that even Thatcher would have found revolting. Extremist, accelerationist class war running headfirst into some of the most dystopian futures you can imagine.

Ooops.
