How Long Can Alexander Boris De Pfeffel Johnson Last?

An excellent piece from Andrew Neil.
For me I cannot vote for a big Government, high taxation and high spending Party. The Torys should be about reducing taxation for individuals and companies and helping the poorest get on the ladder to 'riches'. Freezing the tax bands and upping NHI clobber those least able to afford it - Johnson and Sunak should hang their heads in shame. And just wait unitl the new green policies push taxation up higher, again hitting those at the bottom hard.
Johnson is a disaster who has blatantly lied in his manifesto and cant or wont answer straightforward questions often going into hiding at pivotal points, he has also squandered (or allowed to be squandered billions).
The problem is though would you prefer Labour - absolutely not IMHO, lest face it the Deputy alone would put off anyone voting for them

For me its the type of taxation. Hitting the poor is never a good idea especially where the NHS is concerned. You end up spending more on lost days income and treatment as poverty does lead to more illness.
Raising taxes also stifles the economy, its labours way and fails every time. Stiffling the economy again hits the poorest and we are back at the first point again.
Lastly there are other ways of paying, like reduce Government spending which at the minute is getting ridiculous (Not including Covid). Again big Government is labours way and again always has led to failure.

Well, we're not sure where the government will raise taxes yet so it's a bit early to say who will bear the brunt, but I think the problem is too many people want everything for nothing. It's their 'right'. Screw as much as they can out of the system regardless of who's paying for it. Even down to unnecessary GP appointments to get a packet of aspirins free rather than spend 50p in the pharmacy. It all costs money. I'm not sure if the Welfare State hasn't a lot to answer for when so many seem so dependant and so devoid of the ability or the willingness to accept personal responsibility.
Oh yes the lovely likeable Sunak.. READ THIS.. for the truth!!

I'm happy for the government to cut foreign aid but I don’t think they should do it by stealth, if that is what they are doing (and we don’t know that). I think they should just do it. In fact the whole thing needs re-thinking. Perhaps it's time to stop giving automatically when funds often fall into the hands of corrupt regimes, and instead set up a disaster fund to help when and where it's really needed.
Totally agree with naomi regarding people fleecing the NHS. One small example, I know a woman who has multiple shares, owns land which is rented out, lives in a half a million pound house, no mortgage and can afford to have the the full amount of premium bond money lying idle. In spite of her wealth she has a repeatable prescription for indigestion tablets.
