Given how he’s basically said it was gut wrenching to spend more money during the pandemic I’m not convinced he’s in the tax and spend club.

Not sure what he says and what he will do quite correspond. He said previously about his desire to balance the books. That says austerity to me.

I read it as he wants to up taxes up to pay for what has already been spent, don't think there's much new money to come from him

But you can balance the books by raising taxes. And why on earth in a Tory leadership contest would he lie about keeping them high, only to cut them?!?

Tories think they can balance the books with "sensible fiscal policy" i.e. raising taxes and cutting services

Most know that will destroy demand but still they think it works

See them all sweat when the final question went to a trans woman. The relief on their faces when the question was about the environment.

To be fair, he always said he would cut taxes, just not Immediately. They are already programmed in for 2 years time.

More likely that a sympathetic will try and help her next time she can't find her way out of a room.

Most women i know don't support the JK Rowlings approach to this issue, and support trans rights. Mumsnet us not representative of most women.

There was a polarisation in a minority of the population, most didn't really care. The media gave far greater weight to it (Farage got the kind of airtime even pre referendum that any other party with no MPs just wouldn't get) and made it more of an issue than it is or was.

Absolutely. Even the BBC were really culpable in this.

That's exactly what she's been going for recently. Badly.

It's not about supporting trans rights though. Surely everyone supports trans rights.

It's about trans men "becoming" women and being able to gain access to women's toilets and changing rooms etc.

PM said that trans women are women and trans men are men. That's a very dangerous stance to hold.

They really shouldn't should they. It says much more about the opposition than it does about them doesn't it
