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.

reminds me of:
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?

It trickles one way and it ain't down, what that is trickling down all over us aint money or wealth it's them literally taking the piss out of us and on us

Odd that, I've never voted labour but still get smeared with that brush. I'm surprised he didn't bring Venezuela up

Sometimes, it may be difficult to see the wood for the trees.
Hunt: a mere twig at £46.0bn
Corbyn: a huge tree at £48.6bn

The mythical magic money tree which they will use when it conveniently suits their own political agenda.

Nothing like getting a bad reputation for not paying a countrys bills as its a bit like ones own bills as don't pay them in the hope the debt will suddenly go away which of course it won't.

Most of those are one-offs and will be contested by the other parties involved. The government reorganisation is pie in the sky as has been proven earlier in the thread.
