A bold move by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and one which could cost him heavily at the ballot box. By raising taxes he has broken an election pledge but we are living in rather extraordinary times and to be honest he probably had little option. He could have raised the money through brutal spending cuts and by cutting the budgets of other departments. This was not really an option.
Viewpoint: Difficult times

A bold move? as usual no tax increase for the rich, but for the struggling middle class. BJ and his corrupt friends need to be pushed out, he has been nothing but an inept clown.
