Watching Rachel Reeves this morning it is quite clear that my wife and I are going to see material tax rises over the next year despite our household income actually falling. My proposed solution is to sell up in wet and windy Wales and move to our mountain eco palace in sunny Greece where we could either retire on our savings and home school the kids or carry on working and, actually, pay less tax. The Mrs has no plan B but I fear plan B it will be. We will just soldier on and feel cheated and unhappy.

Every working day another 1,000 of our fellow citizens sign of as sick and, often without medical challenge go onto PIPs and other benefits. The zooming numbers of those off sick in the UK is totally out of step with every other country in the West. Natch the progressive left demands that we spend more on health education, preventative medicine and heling folks back into the workplace.
