Wait, wait, wait… The average middle-class voter who is struggling to get by is starting to turn away from the Tories and their leader’s suggestion is to reduce taxes on the wealthiest people? Not to improve services or perhaps address the issues that drove former conservative party voters to Labour. No. Cutting the taxes of the elite, further reducing funding for services that the majority of voters use or rely on is the obvious answer.
Smash&Grab tactics with… do I smell a hint of Scorched Earth in the mix there?
Person 1: Smash n Grab with a side of Scorched Earth?
Person 2: Sounds like a recipe for destruction.
Person 1: but the heat would be so intense
Person 2: (Whispers) I’m a fire starter.
Person 1: (Laughs) I know.
The Tories are out of touch. Middle class only exists on paper anymore, and the Tories’ answer is to cut taxes for the rich?
He wants to increase the threshold of where you start paying 40%. The title of this article makes it sound like it’s 45% but it’s not. Currently this threshold is at about £50k. So this would make the biggest difference to exactly the middle classes.
Do the UK old people have lead in their brains too? Stop voting for Tory shitbags.
We don’t need lead to hate foreigners, it’s our God-given right as rulers of the Empire!
Uh… I mean… “we value our traditions” or something…
Yes
Blah blah blah
Rats know they’re losing so they want to give farewell gifts to their cronies before leaving and punish the poors for not voting Tory.
Also helps to harm economy and national redources as much as possible so that the next administration fails to do anything and Tories can return in a further election cycle.
Tax cuts for votes. They’re not even trying to hide it anymore.
When tf is there supposed to be another election in the UK? It almost feels like a strategy from the Tories to continually have their PMs resign so they stay in power. It would be nice for the UK to have some sanity again
The last election was in 2019, so the next one must be no later than 2024.
Jan 2025 is the latest they can hold it, if I remember correctly.
Though it would be beneficial to evict Starmer from the red Seat before that happens too.
It absolutely wouldn’t be. What are you on about? A big part of why Labour are polling well because they look like a safe pair of hands. Starting an interparty factional war over who the new leader should be will completely damage that and possibly lose there election.
Half of the Tory base are either indifferent to a Labour victory or would actively vote for them. If you throw another Corbyn in the mix that will change and the base will come out again. It’s simple electoral math. Please stop advocating for more Tory rule.
There’s 5 years between elections unless the ruling party calls one early so a pm resigning doesn’t help but calling an election early and winning does. We’re still on the clock from Johnson’s 2019 landslide win - which he called 3 years early because they were way ahead in the polls. Truss and Sunak didn’t call early elections because they already had a big majority and would probably lose seats.
What a ghoul.
Because this way, the Tories will definitely take the struggling middle class on their side during the next elections.
