Also Vat is still a tax on the poor just like NI is. People on low income spend 100% of earnings so pay 20% on earnings. People on high income spend less than 100% earnings as they save/invest so pay less (as a %). Income tax above a threshold is fair way or a tax on luxury goods, or to be fair inheritance tax over a threshold is also fair.
Alternatively we could leave our nearest a biggest trading bloc to save a notional £15bn and use that to….. uh, hold a minute…..
