So much for the #Tories narrative of being a low-tax party... 

by next year the proportion of national income taken by #taxation will have risen from 33% to 37% over four years... to be absolutely clear, I have no problem with such rates of UK #taxation, the bigger Q. is what it is being used for.

All Govt.s 'tax & spend'... so don't obsess about the #tax element lets obsess about the absolutely disastrous spending strategy undertaken by the #Tories...

 @43d7c4ea the real question is, who is bearing the greatest burden of tax? If it's "households," what are the class and income distributions? If it's a flat rate of increase, then the relative burden is greatest on the poorest households.
