Witness a nation's lack of surprise

This appalling Tory Govt pile lie upon lie about tax. #ResolutionFoundation reveals Tories have already increased Taxes 4 next 4 years. This due to freeze on #IncomeTax & personal National Insurance thresholds (Autumn Statement 2022 and Budget 2024).British people see through Tory #lies and will show their contempt for these Tories in the General Election. https://rb.gy/3nxi5h

#Hunt joins #Johnson & #Sunak as a liar & gaslighter. His dodgy dossier is contemptible. #ResolutionFoundation's careful research, UK inflation largest in G7, real wages down 2.23% since early 2021, real household disposable income per head still not back to 2019 level.. Tory greed merchants rely on lies, cronies etc. https://rb.gy/zz0y43 #RejoinEU #StandWithUkraine #ToryCorruption #GeneralElectionN0W
