Instead of wildly guessing, why not wait 16 hrs and find out?
Here is my take, there will be mucho tax rises and plenty of public services cut.
I doubt they would cut the inflated salaries of public sector employees, there would be strikes all through the year.
I doubt they will cut benefits, there will be plenty of riots and crime.
I doubt they will cut gold plated pensions, that would be unpopular.
I reckon, they will tax the middle classes as much as they can , because, well middle classes generally take an arse kicking with a smile.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

Plus they were talking about reducing how much tax poor people pay, since it doesn't raise much anyway.
Plus us contractors are a small minority, and as such could catch a break if they want to encourage small companies.
It looks as if there will be a big rise in personal allowances - good news, but any benefits will probably be lost by increasing tax on theoretically discretionary spending - the Tories did this under Thatcher and Major by increasing VAT (rate and scope), the fuel price escalator, and Major did it by inventing a whole load of new taxes like insurance premium tax, airport departure tax.Comment
