An obvious fact. But still an overlooked one

As the article acknowledges, it’s left wing economically while being quite right wing on social issues. Blue Labour, essentially.

    Sure, but they’re redistributing from the middle, not the top. It’s not nothing, but the ultra rich will remain ultra rich, leeching from the country as they do so

      But they’re not! The IfS, for example, says:

      The package was skewed towards raising more from those with high incomes.

      Thanks for not downvoting me, but I don’t really mind! I always think that if people downvote rather than argue, that means they have nothing to say.
