If they use this to reduce National Insurance as is being suggested, it's quite clever. It was always a bit of a stretch to fund the various things Labour wanted to out of their proposed removal but this would put them in the position of either removing the tax cuts, or finding another source.

It does go against previous stated Tory policy, and in their previous view would lead to an overall reduction of tax take but consistency is way too high a bar to be expected just now.

if scrapping non dom tax breaks is a plan for govt spending, then tipping up the sofa is a plan for paying for the lecky.


The Tories are a bunch of dangerous, corrupt, racist incompetents but if they did this they would be outwitting Labour.
