Whoever is made Tory leader, expect a rush to introduce deeper austerity to 'fund' tax cuts for corporations & income tax cuts that primarily help the wealthiest
The Tory debt mountain will grow massively all while they fill their own & their mates' wallets
Javid claims his cut in corpn tax is "fully funded" & "if we don't get the tax cuts, we won't get the growth"
Tell that to every country in the EU that has higher taxes than the UK, higher economic growth, AND better public services #SundayMorning#Toryleadership
After a decade of austerity, and given the state of public services (especially stagnated pay) what do the Tories think is going to happen to e.g. child poverty, teacher & nurses' pay?
Ofc, there will be massive strikes across the board, and that's why Kwarteng is announcing another attack on the right to strike - this VoteLeave govt is 'taking advantage of the opportunities of Brexit' in exactly the way we warned - cutting workers' rights & pay
@LBC@metpoliceuk So the Sunday Times is confident that Johnson's party both broke the law and Johnson has no defence, but he wasn't fined for it nor did @metpoliceuk or #SueGray investigate it.
Every day for six years, the Brexit press, MPs, & lobbyists have hunted for a positive, material Brexit outcome; something that would make the £bns in lost trade, removal of personal freedoms, inflation, and the fracturing of Britain, worth it
This is why we end up with front-page stories about stuff that never happened (EU banning imperial measures & crowns on pints) or stuff that was always happening ("UK opens door to world's top graduates") on an increasingly regular rinse & repeat cycle
Even the propagandists at the Mail on Sunday know the EU never banned the crown from appearing on pint glasses - something Tories established for themselves in 2007
