If you believe this, I have a bridge to sell you. The prime directive of the Conservative Party is to get and hold power. The idea that it would risk throwing away the opportunity merely because it involved an albeit uncomfortable arrangement with another right-wing party is clearly for the birds.

The tax tiers need revision. The performance of we‘re tackling “cost of living” whilst taxing people who are barely managing is insanity. As much as the 45% rate not increasing, no matter what you earn. Fix this, stop the stupid loss of tax free element.

UK Chancellor can easily increase income tax personal allowance by £3,000 a year. It will boost basic rate taxpayers by £600 a year. Millions will be helped. Benefit to higher rate taxpayers can be clawed back. The cost of £30bn can be met by ending bank subsidies, £100bn over the last 3 years.

This is how the Chancellor can increase the personal allowance and lift millions out of hardship
