THE government is engaged in a massive fraud against the British people, which was crystalised during last week’s Budget and Spending Review.
This fraud is that this government of the super-rich, led by the same millionaires and billionaires who have spent the last decade slicing through our social fabric, have overnight become concerned with “levelling up” and governing in the interest of working people.
The coronavirus forced this dogmatically Thatcherite government to reluctantly increase the role of the state — but even this was done in an uneven way that disproportionately benefited the wealthy (and Tory donors) while failing to protect many communities.
