I don’t know who she is but she was interviewed saying she would cut taxes and to pay for it, would cut welfare spending on those able bodied people that choose not to work.

She will do for me

So she hasn't said how she would fund those tax cuts? As surely nobody would fall for that that trope about welfare queen types in this day and age? Especially not after 12 years of Tories and Universal Credit etc?

And which taxes is she proposing cutting? Corporation tax no doubt

He's a typical Tory Bully, aiming for the easy targets, rather than getting his "mates" to pay their taxes.
They could probably start with start with Nadim Zahawi and his multi million property empire ?

If they are so good at "creating wealth" they should be able to cover the shortfall due to a small tax increase
