        @BBCBreaking @BBCNews and where will they get the money? £7.6bn in tax cuts would mean £7.6bn in cutbacks to public services #torymathssucks

        @BBCBreaking By the sound of it, they have "borrowed", to put it politely, one of the key policies of the Lib Dems; sure suggested it first!

        @BBCBreaking These aren't policies so much as tardy adjustments for inflation that are arriving, I notice, without apology.

        @BBCBreaking Amazing what is promised just before an election! Trickery, empty promises, giving with one hand, clawing back with the other.

        @BBCBreaking for income tax. National insurance is biggest deduction for workers on £12,500 and far less flexible.
