He will not have the funds to spend as he has promised and make tax cuts.
This seems to be a common view. However, I think people are still being naïve to Johnson's political ideology. There is nothing to stop him borrowing. In fact I expect him to. There will of course be stealth taxes and scapegoating, but my prediction is that he will give zero fucks about any supposed conservation fiscal ideology as long as he can spin some quick wins.
Agree. Quick wins needed to prove to people they were right to vote them in. Soften Brexit so the damage is not too bad. Borrow heavily to mitigate/hide problems. Blame EU for downturn. There's no longterm economic plan, but they'll be working to ensure 5/10 more years in power already.
The manifesto and campaign lies are based on promises that cannot be 'quick wins',
50,000/31500 new nurses, 20,000 new police officers, 10 new hospitals.
They'll have to find some other cheap ideas:
a) repeal of Smoking Ban,
b) repeal of Hunting 'Ban',
c) ...........
+1 to his blog. It's incredibly insightful. (see high performance govt)
