    Cutting taxes doesn’t help the poorest in society. We’ve also had 14 years of governments cutting tax and spending and the country is fucked, not to put too fine a point on it. I genuinely don’t see how anyone can look at where we are a think the problem is that rich people are paying too much tax.

      Raising the tax threshold to £20,000 will absolutely help the poorest in society, especially short term which many currently need help with.

      You are correct with the rest of your comment though, which is exactly why I said it was unfunded, and that simultaneously cutting taxes on the rich is a ludicrous idea.

      My point is that there are other reasons why people would support Reform than just being frothing at the mouth racists
