  1.  @peterhughes506  They've borrowed around 1.8 trillion since 2010 so the bulk of it is nothing t do with the pandemic, it was 130 billion last year alone

  2. There not cutting taxes though, Fiscal drag means the 20% rate should be 15000 not 12250 its frozen till 2028 and there cutting government funding from councils while allowing council tax to rise year on year for the next 5 years. Big loosers are pensioners most on low incomes with 2 million in poverty currently its estimated 4 out of every 10 people retiring will add to that number

  4. its 1 million for a couple and SIPPS are excluded if to a relative Its been calculated that 40% of your house value on average is down to government policies including Right to buy and other government interventions. The Tories have made it far worse in the last 14 years as well with house prices rising on average by 66% and real wages falling by -7%

  8. fiscal drag on frozen rates of 12250 they should now be 15000 and its frozen till 2028 so your 550 down from that NI is at the same rate then another 220 for NI making 670 So your 4% NI cut needs to be big enough to wipe out the fiscal drag

  9.  @JamalBrown-k1x  The reason the Threshold went up was due to the Lib-Dems it was part of the deal Clegg negotiated. The Tories have been eating into it since their second term it should be 15000
