They're all 'leading the race' dependent on which paper/news site you look at
still the same scenario as before though, lots of ideas that won't leave the ground and fly

15% basic rate of tax? Sounds like a vote winner to me!

Until you have to explain where the money is going to be cut. People aren't keen on austerity. Although knowing the Conservatives it'll probably be by making everyone under 40 pay for their medical treatment.

Usual playbook. Let the Millennials pay. The Governent debt has increased under Theresa May so this looks a particularly foolish suggestion.

Tax is just something poor people pay.

The NHS is on its knees now and tax cuts might seem all fine and dandy for some but the NHS and other public services need to be paid for and two thirds of the public are happy to do that with increases in public spending.

A majority want to see the Government increase public spending, according to the latest Ipsos MORI Political Monitor. One week before Phillip Hammond is due to deliver his budget the new poll reveals that two-thirds (66%) think the government should increase spending on public services, even if that means higher taxes or more government borrowing.

Quote:
The desire to end austerity also holds across party lines – a majority (59%) of Conservative supporters also believe the government should increase spending on public services (as do 77% of Labour supporters)

The public might want more spending on the NHS but they don't all get to choose the next Prime Minister at the moment. That's up to the Party's members to decide and they may favour a tax-cutting PM.

Or people who understand that supporting society and the services it requires need people to contribute their fair share.

Yes poor people contribute a fair share, this is in gratitude to the rich people who give them jobs.

"give them jobs"
So charitable of them, and they lose money on the jobs they "give" them...
