"The freeze on tax thresholds was down to Mr Jeremy Hunt back in 2023. He freeze them till 2028. "
I know it was, and it was an underhand tax rise. (Pity Labour decided to keep it and hand vast amounts to their Union friends, along with more large payouts to be demanded.)
That and along with many additional examples of poor political decisions, infighting and basically behaving in an incompetent manner for the previous 5 years was more than justification for them losing the election in such a disastrous fashion.
Labour hardly won considering they actually only received 34% of the total votes cast, the Conservatives worked hard to lose, that and the fact that Labour lied by omission with the repeated statement that they'd not increase tax on VAT, Income Tax or National Insurance. It was obvious to many that their refusal to answer any question posed concerning other taxes was indicative of their intentions. Pity many voters missed that.
