Subject: RE: BS: Conservative LeadershipContest
My last post was off topic, I am afraid. It would be better on the Brexit thread.

Sticking to the Conservative leader questions, while Brexit understandably looms large, we at least have some idea of what they intend to do apart from magically resolve Brexit, since we have had comments about taxation, for example. I think Boris' plan for raising the higher rate tax boundary to £80,000 will disappear into the far distance: it was useful for persuading MPs who all get just under that as a salary to vote for him. Now those votes are pocketed the "ambition" can be downgraded further - a "long term aim", perhaps.
