1/ The Tories are preparing to make you pay in the after-math of the virus, while protecting the wealth of the super-rich and the corporations. From the leaked Treasury note...
2/ A 5% increase on the Basic Rate of income tax to 25% - but no increase in corporation tax (which is already the lowest in the G20). And no increase in capital gains tax.
3/ Freeze on public sector pay for 5.4m public sector workers. Alongside welfare and spending cuts.
4/ Scrapping the triple lock on pensions.
5/5 This will come alongside a new dose of racism and scapegoating as well as increased authoritarianism. #JoinAUnion yes but also prepare for wider battle to build a new society after Covid. And in Scotland - build alternative via independence.
