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.

    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.
