Did you know that the Conservative manifesto has no numbers beyond the page numbers?
This is an arrogant misjudgement. Theresa May and her advisors have decided that the public does not need to be told what will happen after the election, or how anything will be paid for.
Since they are ruling out increases in income, corporate tax and VAT we can only assume that there will be an increase in National Insurance and in various ‘stealth taxes’ yet to be specified.
It has undoubtedly raised suspicions.
We are being honest with people, to save our NHS and social care we will put 1p on income tax, raising £6bn a year.
