I like it. AtW for PM. Only if you U-turn on Brexit, mind.

Barsteward said that not being able to increase taxes prevents Govt from flexibility to bend over taxpayers, which is precisely the reason to get such pledges in the first place

No party should be allowed to field candidates unless there is a published tax checklist of what they will increase/decrease and by how much, they can cut lower, but any attempt to increase taxation should be met with long jail sentences.

Ahhh, The Thick of It.

Gahh! I wish I could kick his teeth through his smug head (Hammond that is). Why didn't he just leave the marginal band where it was last year? He's tinkering around (no doubt helped by advisors fresh out of uni with an axe to grind against "The Rich" because they have no desire or capability to take risk) and running out of ideas.

Let me quote the late George Carlin:

"The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the tulip out of the middle class. Keep 'em showin' up at those jobs."

First it's £350,000,000 a week to the EU.

Well, I glossed over that one. Coming originally from the mouths of Boris and Gove, that assertion is unsafe.

Meanwhile the UK gives away billions in foreign aid. .

First it's £350,000,000 a week to the EU.

Second it's billions in foreign aid. (Getting the e and i the correct way round in foreign only took me five minute. Dam German)

One day that chicken will come home to roost.

Manifesto promise to increase it to £50k, now that goes out of the window, it's only fair.

You're a good few election cycles away from that level of earnings, matey, so don't worry too much.

I see from my latest council tax breakdown that 32% goes to welfare. Eh?

That doesn't sound right. Are you sure you don't mean social care?
