or just quote their 'pledges'

I know why she's doing it, but at same time Reeves ruling out any tax rises is pretty bloody stupid. I guess they could do things with thresholds etc.

I get the Tories are desperately trying to shore up their oldie vote and get them out voting so they don't get totally wiped out. But, the latest announcements have still really wound me up. Genuinely perplexed why anyone under 60 would vote Tory.

 

As if pensioners haven't had it good enough compared to working people.

I'm sure there will be tax rises. You just won't find out what they are until after the election.

this doesn't add up with the whole no austerity and fiscal rules thing. She isn't being honest.

yes, it will be a "oh we didn't know things were this bad, we'll have to make some hard choices now...spending cuts or tax rises..."

well I'd never even heard of any of that, so maybe not.

the polling thingy...some bloke posted this:

 

Squeeze question is asking Don't Knows who they would pick if forced to, Re-Weighting is using some method to estimate who they would vote for. Both Yellow and Green pollsters usually give smaller Labour leads.
