Too far

Norwich and the Isle of Wight are their other great white hopes right?

Looking forward to getting some material through the letter box from Jen Swindon’s Liberal Democrats telling me that, having upped their share of the vote from 2.9% in 2015 to 3.5% in 2017, this constituency is theirs to lose.

I can already explain why some of these are bollocks (obvious one being that income tax for high earners went up under labour, down under the coalition)

Can’t be bothered to find out if I’m talking rubbish but wasn’t that employee ownership things just a part of privatising the post office. So sell it off and give a couple of shares to workers but then it never worked out happening properly anyway or something. Can’t remember.

IFS figures and the OBR’s figures show that in every budget the lowest decile lost more net income than any other and other than the top 10%, the change in redistributive effect was entirely regressive.

The pupil premium wasn’t enough to mitigate the effect of cuts to education budgets.

The Green Investment Bank was Labour policy announced in the March 2010 budget by Allistair Darling.

The triple lock is regressive policy designed to buy off pensioners, ensuring that over the last decade wealth has continued to pool disproportionately with the boomer generation by increasing pensions by more than wage rises over the period.

The post office is still government owned. It was split from Royal Mail before that was privatised.
