This has been a very odd General Election run-up so far.
This has been a very odd General Election run-up so far. To be frank, I am left with more questions than answers:
- Hypocrisy. The Liberal Democrats are pledging a £100 Billion Climate Fund and have an election pact with the Greens in some seats. So why have I received – 16 so far – leaflets from them? And nowhere on these leaflets does it say “recycled paper”. They are glossy leaflets covered in environmentally-unfriendly polymers. They shall not be getting my vote, especially now that I know their screechy leader’s CV has just one entry outside of Westminster bubble work – working for too short a time in the real world in the marketing department of the Hull radio station Viking FM.
- Abacus. Has anyone seen Diane Abbott this election campaign? Labour plan to put her in charge of the police, domestic security services and immigration, yet she doesn’t seem to have appeared in any interviews or been put under any serious scrutiny at all? She has a 35,000 majority – which says a lot about her seat – but where is she?
- Inheritance. Why are not more people discussing Labour’s inheritance tax plans? Everyone knows about Labour’s Brexit plan now, everyone knows about the antisemitism and everyone knows about their spending. Their plans to reduce the inheritance tax threshold to £125k would affect almost everyone in the country – it’s not a tax on the rich, it’s a tax on every hard-working family. Don’t people know about Corbyn & McDonnell’s aim to reduce the threshold to £125,000? This is the one thing they seem to fear the most about a Corbyn government (meaning they won’t inherit what they thought they would, and their children won’t either). It seems to be a policy equally unpopular with working class voters who’ve worked hard to save, pay off their mortgages and provide a better life for their children.
