I know how she'll pay for it. It'll be the sick, disabled and families on Tax Credits/Universal Credit, most of whom are working

It said on the BBC news last night that to pay for the tax cuts they will have to make cuts comparable to the ones that Osborne made in the 2010 austerity budget.

The main targets will be the projects that form part of levelling up, cuts to the budget to improve things like the NHS after the pandemic or welfare benefits.

She won't want to lose votes by doing the first two, so it will be the easy target once again.
