Thanks to months of pitch rolling, the Labour government has now effectively told anyone paying attention that income tax rises are necessary, but they’re not going to do them because they’re politically weak. Let’s see how that plays!

She then tells us who should be chief of an NHS she never uses. Not only that, she comments about Govt. departments that don’t actually govern her!

This is true but that was an inexcusably bad edit. The arrogance of trying to do anything other than grovelling apologise whenever the first complaint came in has allowed the BBC's enemies an open goal. Terrible error, terrible handling and terrible outcome.
