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.

Not sure who "The Left" are .... but this is priceless

BTW, your "politics of envy" defence of the super rich is shallow. There is no moral justification of individuals with wealth in the 100's of millions and billions not being taxed more to help improve our country and to make it a fairer place to live. The facile "trickle down economics" argument is a total con job. I mean, think about it, the people who want to gain (and retain) disproportionate wealth at the expense of their fellow citizens would say that wouldn't they?
