Tax cuts on 09:56 - Sep 28 with 612 views | nrb1985 | The other outrageously dumb point in their economic plan which hasn't been mentioned is that you can now get pretty much a risk free return of 5.5% for a one year GBP deposit. If you give rich people who don't really need extra money a tax break and the chance to get 5%+ risk free then they certainly aren't going to spend it/trickle down. That or it will be eaten up by higher mortgage costs. |  | |  |

Wealthy get a 5% tax cut, meanwhile the devaluation of sterling will drive further inflation probably in double figure as the cost of imports rises. Additionally assets and investments see monumental declines. So I imagine even the rich are p!seed off at this point. Maybe that will see them off as their donors turn on them. |  | |  |

Problem being there isn't any mechanism for getting rid of a sitting government with a comfortable majority if they don't want to hold an election (fearing they'll lose) - short of outright revolution. Unless Conservative MPs start defecting (or abstaining) en masse, there's no chance of a VoNC succeeding. Given the likelihood of losing their seats in the the subsequent GE, what incentive do they have to do that? |  |

Being a dirty telegraph reader, I've seen talk of unnamed MPS suggesting that they know the game is up and that 'the shambles can;t continue' or 'perhaps a period in opposition would be best'. You never know.... |  |
