Then you don't understand politics. Promises mean nothing and the Labour Party always fail to deliver a better NHS and always waste money on unnecessary mamagement. No one will ever vote for more tax.

Ludicrous statements. You clearly don't understand the NHS or people or tax.

The Labour Party were in power for 13 years. Did they 'fix' the NHS?
Do you think people who vote Labour will vote to reduce their disposable income?

Do you live in a Lefty fantasy?

You don't seem to understand anything but promoting the EU and the Labour party, yet you try to come across as if you're intelligent and/or knowledgable in your posts.

Just because you post loads don't think that it hides the nonsense that you trot out.

Optimistic as ever

David Willetts, the former Tory minister, has proposed a 15p tax increase on wealthy baby boomers and replacing regressive council tax with a property levy.

This isn't leftist fantasy. It's understanding the problem and looking for solutions, taking advice from tax experts and looking at evidence from around the globe.

It's also educating the public to appreciate that tax isn't a penalty or something to be proud of avoiding, but quite the opposite. It's the contributions we make to live in a functioning society with good public services, a fair welfare state and greater equality of opportunity.

This is all interconnected, from falling standards in meat production and pressure to drop standards from industry lobbies, to failing NHS, cuts in school budgets, the paucity of social care, and so on.

Thankfully there are lots of ideas out there which are being actively considered by progressive parties which actively seek to reduce inequality and improve public services drawing on real world evidence and innovative thinking, use of technology and tax systems. The main thing preventing these ideas from being applied is the paralysed government and their austerity dogma, allied to a mania for Brexit at the cost of every other aspect of policy.

This con government has to be the worst in history, an absolute shambles, im not saying jeremy would do any better but i know he couldnt do any worse! Boris opens his mouth, theresa and the cons have to deny it the next day, david davies speaks without taking a breather, to try and get the bullshyte out without anyone hearing what hes saying, Its a CON catastrophe ! CON servative, anyone not seeing how this country is going downhill fast needs to open up their eyes!
