Yet, some goons think, because a person who donated to him has shares attached to a company that has shares in a healthcare company (like most people's pensions) he's trying to privatise the NHS.

Wages have stagnated for years. While costs have rocketed. Yes, it's great the min wage has risen. What about those on a bit more than min wage, with kids and a mortgage. I support no new income taxes.

That's how I feel about the Guardian. Used to be the only paper worth reading, now it's just a click bait generator. I spend a lot of time whining about it because I feel betrayed.

I kinda agree with this sentiment. Personally I think it might be better to reduce alcohol duty in licensed places and increase it in supermarkets/shops.

Sorry James, this is just not true. I ran comms at HMT and we *never* briefed out a specific measure weeks before a Budget. It’s a recipe for chaos. Most of these stories are educated guesswork or sometimes briefed by other departments trying to influence the Budget decision making process.

An ex Treasury spokesman has said this is not true. They never leak about budget proposals due to the chaos it could cause.

Spent years propping up the Tories. The Guardian was all too rare a ray of sunshine. Then they changed to chase rage bait clicks. I feel betrayed.

I said at the time that the press conference was weird. I'll accept that although she didn't actually say income tax was going up it was a reasonable interpretation. If she's changed her mind because it's not needed then great. As usual crappy comms.
