Dear Editor
Dear Editor
The Conservative Party tells its members that: ‘Rachel Reeves promised during the General Election last year not to increase taxes. It took her less than four months to break that promise. She then promised not to do so again. But rising borrowing costs and unfunded spending means that she’ll have to break that promise. Again.’
Why do they say she will ‘have to’? As Kathy Gyngell asked on Sunday about the Telegraph’s advice to her on tax options, why do they buy into the narrative? Why don’t they list the many possible and ‘needed’ cuts that would save the £22billion ‘needed’ in new taxes?
