This is so amusing. The Left is oh so happy to deride spending pledges being made by the two contenders for PM and yet don't bat an eyelid at Corbyn's ideas for a spending frenzy funded by his money tree!

I would respectfully remind everyone that it is the Conservatives who have the good reputation when it comes to the economy. If you spend more money and cut taxes, clearly the money does have to come from somewhere. Just because neither Hunt nor Johnson have explained where the money is coming from does not mean they don't have a proper plan.

Boris is considering reducing the size of the Cabinet by half, which will save billions, as well as reducing the international aid budget, for starters.

The Left have also consistently failed to understand that by reducing taxes in a managed way, you can actually increase revenues. Of course, the Left would not want to acknowledge that anyway as it would take away their 'logic' for increasing taxes on the rich. The politics of envy.
