Most lower paid workers get nothing or very little on NI cuts.

But the facts don't worry Tories

Word on the street (twitter/bloomberg) is that no income tax cut in budget, but Sunak will promise income tax cuts as part of election campaign...

true...and they have most of the papers on side...

Remember when people used to say that the Tories were so useless labour should be twenty points aheadmthey have a leader who is achieving that and lots attack him and say he not doing well enough.

surely no one is believing that the party that raised the tax burden to the highest levels since whenever it is, is going to be the one to lower them. Surely.....

Probably more likely that the Tories will reduce them than the spend more labour party .

What’s also baffling is that the Tories cut NI back in November which didn’t have any impact on the polls so they’ve thought let’s try that again. They have no clue.

I wonder what the amazing rabbit out of the hat will be that will persuade all of us to vote Tory?

The last 13 years and the level of national debt shows the Tories are now the spend more party.

Your tone gives the impression you don’t want Labour to spend more on public services. You’re a man with some very bizarre views.

It's partially a boundary shift. What used to be Bristol West had a posh Tory section near the Clifton suspension bridge, which is being removed for the Bristol Central constituency and they're adding in areas which are largely young professionals.

In the budget tomorrow it’s very likely that the Tories will cut even more spending to public services just to fund their tax cuts which no one wants anyway.

greens reckon that will give them victory, can't see it, looks like less green support in the city now than 5 years ago.

lots of students too.

There could be a few of these if labour continues to poll strongly...muslim or studenty or groovy young professional urbanites who think f**k it I'm not voting for that neolib tory zionist c**t Starmer...

and then the Tories win and they go...oh..sh*t...(although I expect some will still celebrate).
