    Sunak's policies as chancellor have caused many of the problems we are facing. Now he is PM and continues to make the situation worse.

      Sunak has borrowed half a trillion pounds since originally becoming Chancellor. That's Trillion with a T.

    You would think that 14 years of Tory nonsense would come up but no 😂

    To summarise in two words - we're shafted. Thanks for that, Paul Johnson, explaining the realities, not the fantasy some would have us believe.

    In other words high tax paying down debts due to 14 years of failed Tory government and lack of economic growth caused by Tory policies and making investment and trade harder. No mention of the white elephant as usual.

      He's part of the Neoliberal consensus who don't wan't to tax the rich appropriately
      Our system currently taxes money made from work NOT money made from Wealth. If both were taxed at equal rates we could reduce income tax as well as pay down debts.

    Well said that man, if only we had people like him in government who understood the challenges and solutions to getting ourselves out of this pickle we would be so much more better off then we currently are now.

      yea right you really don't want these people in charge
      quote
      The IFS’s political ideology reveals itself most obviously in its approach to inequality. At several points on its website we are warned that “reliance on taxing ‘the rich’ and big companies to pay more has its limits and would be far from risk-free”. We find no equivalent warning about the risks associated with increased inequality or the growing concentration of corporate power. Repeatedly placing rich in inverted commas is in itself an indicator of political orientation.

      There is known to be 100+ billion lost through tax evasion and avoidance so the 3 billion going to tory "friends" for the use of their previously empty "hotels" is small potatoes. Also there are the Billions in Tax "Holidays" for big OIl and Energy companies.

      I suspect you are confused. The Institute for Fiscal Studies is rated as being "highly transparent" about its funding sources by the Who Funds You organisation. All funders are listed on the IFS website.
