The tax cat is out of the Tory bag.

The Conservatives are planning up to £21bn of tax cuts for the wealthy few, at the expense of the many on middle and low incomes.

If they get elected, the Tories want to cut taxes on companies, income tax for the rich and inheritance taxes for the well-off.

The only way they can pay for it is to slash spending on things like the NHS, education and pensions.

For most of us, Conservative rule always means higher taxes.

Just think of the disastrous Poll Tax, the high council tax imposed by the Tory county council and, of course, the scandalous residents' parking charges.

David Cameron has warm words about sound money.

The reality is the same old Tories looking after their friends with inherited wealth, damaging the economy and slashing public services.
