Keir Starmer, it's time we had a frank discussion about tax | Phillip Inman

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : It won't matter that the heads of social services departments said last week that they can barely meet their statutory obligations to keep vulnerable children safe, let alone care for adults with complex needs, while on shoestring budgets.
42% : Whitehall departments are braced for yet another round of spending cuts justified by the need to keep taxes low and to bring down borrowing in the wake of the billions spent helping the country get through the Covid-19 pandemic.
42% : Except that Starmer needs to talk about tax.
37% : When Keir Starmer is confronted by the accusation that to spend more requires either raising taxes or increasing borrowing, what will he say?
