People want to pay less for things they have to buy. This is where tax cuts are needed. Income tax is money people don't see in the first place, so raising it by just 1p will make very little difference to the pay packet. Council tax going up to pay for the Police and Social services is a far more visible rise.

Raising VAT also means people buy less.

The NHS is being underfunded, particularly as it is used as a dumping ground for elderly patients the Council care system cannot afford. If people want to keep the NHS they WILL have to pay more for it.

False accounting on claiming 50,000 New nurses is one proven lie. 40 new hospitals is another. Where is the money coming from for these claims? If they are not genuinely achievable in the first place, the cost is correspondingly negligible.
Clearly, you are not one of the 'many' who are struggling to pay their bills.

You cannot just ignore the fact that the NHS is woefully inefficient. Pouring shedloads of money into it for a worsenening service is not the answer.

Most people would agree that the NHS needs sufficient resources to enable it to run properly and provide a good service to its patients, but increased resources need to be conditional on increased efficiency.
