  2. Income tax is the governments largest source of income, in 2022/3 it was £788 billion @ 10% increase on the previous year. Even a small increase in personal allowances would be is very costly. By contrast Inheritance tax raised @ £7bn, the relative cost of increasing thresholds or scrapping it completely, by comparison is tiny.

  3. Corruption will be replaced by incompetence which will be even more expensive.

  13.  @jamesdenny5078  He has a net worth of over £50m , so an MP's salary is small change to him.

  14. Sunak is 43, Starmer 61. In 1783 William Pitt the younger became PM at the age of 24.

  15. Income tax is the governments largest source of income, anything other than a very modest increase in the thresholds would cost too much, so it's more likely he will leave for Labour to become the new bad guys.

  16.  @gary_c2376  They seem keen to remove Non Dom Tax status, but seem to have forgotten that these very rich people can live and spend their money anywhere in the world they choose. What will happen to all the Non Dom Premier league footballers ?
