23 November - Time to give up?
Few would dispute that the Conservatives in Government are now the party of high taxation. Much of it may be due to Covid but who took
the series of poor decisions that wasted so much money?
Before the Autumn Financial Statement it was said that tax levels were higher
than at any time since the Second World War and then Jeremy Hunt announced
Financial Times headline.
And after the biggest ever tax cut what are we left with? The biggest tax
burden since the Second World War! Says it all, does it not? Hunt’s tax cuts
leave most individuals no better off even before fuel costs go up again on January 1st.
There are no Conservatives left in Government and what are we left with? Starmer
who endorsed all the Tory mistakes and would have embellished them and Richard
Tice’s Reform UK which is not a Political Party with Members to influence its direction; it is
a limited company that seeks donations. And Tice wanted every last one of us
to be compulsorily vaccinated against Covid. Tice and democracy are strange bedfellows. No way does he get my vote.
