Boris won't, actually, even taking account of the buffonery.
However, Corbyn would soon cripple the economy as he dances with his terrorist friends.

He may in touch with the nutty right wingers, but he's out if touch with the rest of the country.
E.g his definition of middle income. He believes raising the 40p tax rate from £50k to £80k will help the average Joe. Someone needs to tell him the average UK salary is around £28k, it'd probably be a genuine surprise.(and MPs salaries being £79k is a total coincidence to this new policy!)
People want more spent on public services, health education, police, social care. The days of tax cuts are gone, it doesn't necessarily get votes any longer.
