Jacob Rees Mogg , warns Richi Sunac, That if he breaks the Manifesto pledge ,The Cons made before the G/E . Which was not to increase Tax.
Then the Cons Will loose the next G/E They are going to loose it anyway , so he may as well increase Tax.
JRM has said that (source, his Moggcast vlog, per the Times), "No sensible party or government ever breaks manifesto commitments willy nilly: it needs extraordinary circumstances..."
Said a letter in the Times today: "I can't think of any circumstances that might be more extraordinary."
I don't see that the Government have a choice. Taxes will have to increase at some point. Under the circumstances I don't see that tax increases alone would be so electorally devastating.
Wouldn't matter which party was in after this year. Taxes will go up. Someones got to pay for it and as Labour wants even more money to be given out theirs would probably go up by even more or is Gulliver growing more money trees for them.
