Rishi Sunak has said he wants to cut taxes for working people further this year, possibly cutting welfare payments to fund it.
The prime minister said on Sunday his priority before the budget in March would be further tax cuts, which he said would entail stricter controls on public spending and benefits.
His comments set up the possibility of an income tax cut in March, what is likely to be the last major tax decision by the chancellor before the general election.
I have an idea:
Why not try closing the intentional tax loopholes that allow massive companies to offshore profits before they’re taxed on them?
The answer is because it’s the same loopholes that the MPs use to offshore our taxes that they’ve siphoned into their own pockets.
The UK actually agreed to shoot itself in the face with Brexit to keep those tax loopholes

Rat face and melon head are just a few of the vermin in the Tories, yet the UK public gobble their shit up regardless
this is 100% a scheme to fuck the labour party who are likely to win the next election. It will force them to either immediately raise taxes on working people to revert the tax, take on more debt to keep the tax but restore the benefits, or abandon the poor and keep the tax cut as is.
it’s using poor, disabled, single parents and other vulnerable members of society as political cannon fodder and it’s fucking disgusting, but sadly par for the course with this government.
Ah, I see, cut income tax just before a general election despite having literally years to do so prior, just so Labour will be forced to find extra income elsewhere or revert the tax cut in some form when they get in power. Cynical as usual.
He agrees with Truss on what needs to be done just argues with her methodology. Of course we can’t borrow from the markets to pay for tax cuts… we must take it out of the mouths of poor people.
The thing that boils my piss is that he knows that loads of dumbfucks, many of them on benefits themselves, will agree with the proposition because they hate their neighbours who have no visible means of support but have the temerity to own a big tv.
I spent Christmas in London…the amount of Bentleys Lamborghinis and absurd wealth and this guy wants to make it harder to be poor‽ Just wow.

Hmm, seen this before.
