Given you make 25k a year your income tax bill will be going down thanks to the coalition, as a higher earner and consumer I'll be picking up the slack as the policies are broadly redistributive.

I trust you'll remember that next year when thanks to this coalition you see your income tax go down from a big allowance increase, and continue to go down until you pay no tax on your first 10k?

Nah you'll probably find something else to complain about, even though the income tax drop will more than compensate you for a 2.5% VAT increase.

Just as a reminder, pointless as facts are for you, whoever got in services would be taking a cut, just a question of when and how much. Yes you have Labour to thank for that, they're the ones who spent too much.
unless your home is in its path then its not so friendly to your environment.
