Risking the gray vote?....she must have this election rigged then as that would be political suicide.

Double lock pensions would be much fairer.
In line with inflation or wages sounds good, when nurses are being offered 1% some pensioners will feel quite guilty automatically getting 2.5% year on year, especially as it tends to help out the better off pensioners on the new pension rather than the older pensioners on the old scheme. Quite happy for the overseas aid not to be reduced this year, far too many countries in need at the minute with war and famine, however I would like to see it used better and perhaps reduced in more stable years. As to the taxes, I will hold back until it is all officially announced. |
It would seem they are expecting bad news for the economy hinting at these changes.
It's only 2 years ago recall,they promised no changes to these areas of policy for the next 5 years from 2015 at least. Is this why she is really having an election, as she knows the bad news to come as to the economy after 7 years of Conservative led rule and endless austerity cuts. |

she is looking at the polls...Cameron got a majority because his policies appealed, can't see foreign aid being held while rising taxes at home being a vote winner personally |

I don't want any tax rises, full stop. I would like the nurses to get the same pay rise as the pensioners...but reality tells me we can't afford it:shrug: |

The simple fact they are not now clearly ruling these changes out, in my view is a testing the water exercise to explore the best way to word,plan ad cloud any thinking to backtrack on the policies.
If they had no thinking as to changing the triple lock or possible tax rises,a simple 'no changes at all' would have sufficed. The fact they have muddled these issues should speak volumes,I myself for one suppose certainly,as to a hidden agenda. |
I am drawing up plans as we speak to add V.A.T to every poem I write - delboy told me - this time tomoz - I am going to have no hair :cheer2:

To be fair this is only hearsay ATM. There is no real evidence that it's going to happen.
It's funny because you often see people say they'd happily pay more tax to fund the NHS but when it comes down to it people often get really upset when there is a sniff of raised taxes. I think it would be fairer to raise taxes a touch than rob the disabled or elderly personally. And I'm sure those bleeding hearts on the forum who were shouting recently about our foreign aid being vital will be delighted to pay some more tax to cover it. Won't you? |

they government have already reneged on their no tax rises by reducing funding to councils, and now schools where parents will be asked to fund books and items they never previously funded, a nice back door stealth tax |
another scare story

Tories can probably announce the first annual purge for Feb 2018 and people will still be like 'yh but at least theyre going through with brexit, and i dont think corbyn is much of a leader anyway'.

All she has to say is she is keeping the promise of 2015 as to the triple lock on pensions. All Hammond and May need to say is they are sticking to their 2015 promise of no tax rises too. It is the 'fact' they will not without hesitation give those guarantees, that has fuelled the story and suspicions. |
