The LibDems are aiming (if they get near the lever of political power) to end the freeze on income tax thresholds (a policy shared with ReformUK Ltd).... and would aim to fund this through the 'dividends of growth' driven by re-joining of the EU by 2037.
Leaving aside how this would be negotiated, they need a plan to make up the shortfall in tax income in the interim;
so more borrowing? credit creation? or more austerity?
Oh wait don't they have form on austerity?

The increasing Americanisation of British politics
If you think it is a bad idea then please write to your MP and threaten (and mean it) to vote for a party that will correct this corruption of British politics.

"A third of British voters are now prepared to vote tactically at the next general election. More than half of supporters of #Labour, the #LibDems, and #Greens are prepared to vote tactically to prevent Nigel #Farage from becoming PM."

Of interest to Liberal history buffs, and anyone else into their political history, "As I Remember - Lady Asquith" on Radio 4 Extra. Lady Astor, best known as Lady Violet Bonham Carter, recalls lunch with Gladstone, and her father H. H. Asquith, David Lloyd George, and her great friend Winston Churchill. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002qr89 #LiberalHistory #LibDems #Liberalism
