The Tories are planning to bribe pensioners by increasing their personal tax allowances by huge amounts at a cost of £2.5 billion a year, on top of the £2.5 billion for national service for the young announced last week.
In today’s Guardian Sir Simon Jenkins (Mill Hill and St John’s, Oxford) believes in Sunak’s nonsense about national service for under-resourced and over-tested teenagers (managing to completely overlook that there’s no money for it). Would a better starting point be to ensure those teenagers had the educational privileges Sir Simon enjoyed?

Basically they are shameless. Nuff said!
