Cut welfare to fund 2p income tax decrease, says Tory leadership hopeful Jenrick

I don't need a tax cut, I need investment in our NHS and things that save us all thousands compared to the alternative . This man is such a turncoat for populism. Another fool who thinks a low tax society actually works. We need to invest to break this brexit hell down a bit. Try to recover the hundreds of billions knocked off our economy or the mass loss for 14 yrs of standards of living.

14 years already wasted, all of a sudden he has the key to fixing things and he has served in ministerial posts affecting policy? Member of Truss's cabinet as well as Johnson, not something I would put on my CV, though did he have time to register with the lettuce? Sunak had him as immigration minster and that has been shown to have failed through policy he would have been involved with (like removing paintings for traumatised kids). Trump supporter as well (so much to unpack there). So, we have a known bunch of idiots that will vote for one of two idiots, this needs popcorn. Wonder how long they will last.

Tax cuts for the rich, throat cuts for the poor. In 2010, Cameron said ‘big society’ which means small state and 14 years later, Bob thinks that worked. He hasn’t asked himself why he is about to become the leader of a dumped irrelevance crew who will soon run out of patience with his plan to keep them out of power for decades.

You really are a nasty piece of work ‘Call me Bob’ Jenrick

He is basically trying to out do Farage, who has for years, since his UKIP days, called for private health insurance to be taken out by the population so as to reduce government spending on health. The Tory party are blinded by Farage, as witnessed by Badenoch saying maternity payments had gone too far, ever more to the right they drift and think that is what will get them re elected. It will be interesting to see in the Senedd election if the move to the right will benefit them here in Cymru, or will people vote Reform, fed up of the Torys, and not realising how far right they really are.

Now is not the time for tax cuts, we need investment in the NHS and public transport. The UK budget is short due to the irresponsible unfunded cut to NI contributions by the last UK Tory administration, Even if the government could budget cut cuts then a percentage rate cut would have little effect in improving the economy. The most effective tax change is to increase the £12,500 threshold to reflect RPI increases. This will put more money into more people's income and would take many part-time workers out of tax completely. It would give more people more money to spend in the shops thus increasing the economy. Everyone will benefit from increased tax-band thresholds.

Tax cuts, benefits cuts ? Boy is showing even more evidence that he is a dunce. More to the point he was part of Truss' crew and that makes him complicit in one of the most unnecessary bouts of inflation in recent history. Who paid the heaviest price for that goof ? Those on the lower levels of the incomes hierarchy and they are still paying and will do so for a long time until Reeves and Starmer get their heads out of their arses. 0/10 for that piece of writing Jenrick. Go back, rethink and rewrite. If you persist you could be expelled.

Same old Tory rightwing crap - they'll never learn. If the UK conservatives continue in this vain they'll be out of power for a generation. Perhaps that would be a good thing if UK labour weren't acting like soft Tories too. Westminster, it appears, is just unable to change. Independence is the only way forward.
