Higher tax and interest rates are currently hitting the lower paid the hardest. Proposals to cut tax rate for the higher paid is proposed with the argument it will bring increased revenue — an argument used for at least two decades by the Tory Right.

What has that to do with the Far Right? - the Laffer curve is a basic principle of taxation, the only argument is where the peaks sits. There is nothing right-wing or left-wing about it.

It's like claiming that gravity is far right..

Gravity of the current Tory party is definitely pulling it towards the Right. Even Cabinet minister Kemi Badenoch has told staunch Brexiteers in the Tory party "I am not an arsonist, I'm a Conservative" in a lively committee session focused on the government's recent watering down of plans to do away with thousands of European Union laws by the end of the year.

Badenoch, the secretary of state for business and trade, defended the move in her appearance before the European Scrutiny Committee on Tuesday, following criticism from the Conservative party's most hardline Eurosceptics that it undermined the UK's exit from the EU.

The session was the latest example of Badenoch, who campaigned to leave the bloc in 2016, being willing to take on fellow Brexiteers in the Conservative party, who complain that Rishi Sunak's government is not doing enough to embrace the perceived opportunities of leaving the EU.

“I am not arsonist, I am a Conservative. I don’t think a bonfire of regulations is what we wanted. What we wanted was reform and removal of the things we did not need.”

Bi_Focal #5: Will Labour really win 500 seats?

Blair had a swing of 12.5%.

But current polling implies a swing to Labour of over 16%, which would be a triumph eclipsing even Blair’s.

Although it's 18 months before the next election needs to be held, the electorate sees government's noticeable failure to deal with strikes, the economy, the rising cost of living, etc, and it's not looking good for the Tories...
