Nothing in my post is pro Tory. Tories are for the Triple lock and I’m against it. You didn’t read my post, you didn’t understand my post. You just typed some rude shit in like a dumb fuck.
We cannot afford to give people what they need is a constant Tory theme. We cannot afford the NHS, social benefits, care for the disabled.
You still cannot deny that 10% inflation should mean 10% extra taxes returned. And as such we can afford it. We could afford it even more if the well off paid a fair amount of tax or may be we stopped giving money to oil companies instead of actually taxing them.
