THE people of the UK will be paying the largest proportion of tax since the mid-1980s due to relentless government spending.
During the general election didn’t the Tories say they were a party to balance the countries books after Labour boom and bust government?
Well the Tories are turning out to be just as bad, only they are penalising hard working families with more taxes and cuts to public services.
The Institute of Fiscal studies warned austerity will continue into the mid-2020s.
The economists said £17 billion of tax rises are planned before 2020.
That means our tax burden would hit 37% of national income the highest since 1986.
We have an unelected prime minister and it’s time for a general election to give her a clear mandate to run the country.
