Johnson tax pledge to ‘put money back in pockets’

Boris Johnson will on Sunday commit a Tory government to not raise income tax, VAT or national insurance for five years as he promises to “put more money back in people’s pockets” after Brexit.

Siri, define bullshit

IF (a big “if”) those tax cuts are real and fair I guess we’re going to need that extra cash - and more - to buy private health insurance and all the other service cuts from our smaller economy and state systems.

That's nice. But the things I want to buy with my money need the government - climate action, better trains, protected NHS. I don't want the money back, I want the services.

And we know who's pocket.

So, promising change such as 40 hospitals (yes, we know it's a lie), infrastructure etc is going to be paid for by who? Not the rich - he's promised a tax cut. Not the poor, hmmm....that improved tax threshold is on hold. So, who? More vacant promises, except for the wealthy.

You know the cakes in the Bake Off that are wonky, it's like these 'pledges' and flim-flam are the icing being applied, but the cake is too warm and while some of it will absorb it, lots melts off and well you know how it will likely look.

Maybe we'd rather have the services?

His own pockets, maybe

Yes for his rich mates only

*of the extremely wealthy*

Yes. Those of his chums.

If Bojo's giving away plain cash, I'd support Brexit

His

HA. GOOD ONE

Neoliberal mantra the world over and centre piece of Conservative parties everywhere. Put money back in your pocket is code for defund and privatize essential public services, toss a few pennies to working folks, cut corporate taxes, and pad pockets of corporate pals.

Fuuuuuuuuuuick oooooooofffffffff

But did his government not take take it away over last 8 years !! Have the British people lost their memories a nation I loved ! I now cannot figure out any more ! Cop on !!!!!!

🤥

What with when the Public Purse is so so tight because Austerity Cuts!.🥺 Yeh Boris Johnson keep insulting the intelligence of us Plebiscites!.👎 Give us year 1,2,3 & 4 year definitive projections!. Or is it just a case of Political breach of their own Sales of Goods Act!?...👎

He didn’t mention they’d all have holes and he’d have people picking it up after.

Yes, pockets of his billionaire pals

More money in pockets? Well, the Conservatives are going to need this:

If he's not raising taxes he will have to borrow money or cut services. Which is it to be?

He took on polish approach?

Does he mean coppers.

.....of his mates

But not if woman cheated of her pension.

NO what Conservatives will do is tax it though their normal process of increasing council taxes & police taxes & then actually just cut the services of what they charge you for ?

'The thing you must realise about polls is that they are not devices for measuring public opinion - they are devices for influencing it'.

Back in his own pockets

No amount of training is needed to understand how to speak to a woman in the most distressing time of her life!! Her notice should have been rejected and she should have been fired!! OMG that’s truly disgusting! I think the sights of the job have sent this paramedic to la la land. I would suggest they needed striking off some time ago. My prayers to this poor lady
