The Prime Minister will pledge to open a ‘new chapter’

in Britain’s history, ensuring the country is out of the EU by the end of January.

The manifesto will commit £6.3 billion for energy efficiency measures to cut fuel bills for 2.2 million homes targeting social housing and ‘fuel poor’ families, while maintaining the current energy price cap. ‘The Conservative manifesto, which I’m proud to launch today, will get Brexit done and allow us to move on and unleash the potential of the whole country.’

That could mean MPs sitting the following Monday – the start of Christmas week – to allow the WAB to be formally introduced, although it is not clear whether there could be any further progress before the holiday.MPs in the last parliament voted to back the bill at second reading, but the Prime Minister withdrew it after they refused to support a timetable motion to fast-track it through the Commons in just three days.

Initially it will go up to £9,500 saving 31 million taxpayers around £100-a-year. However Mr Johnson’s suggestion it could rise to £12,500 – saving £500-a-year – is described as an ‘ambition’ and it is unclear whether it will be met in the next parliament.

Yeah, no, not to be believed.

Didn't he say he was going to lower taxes? Now they just aren't being raised?
