    Because making the least well-off working people pay for your home broadband from their taxes is clearly a national priority Richard? #checkyourprivilegehttps://twitter.com/RichardBurgon/status/1195103787951755264 …

        It'll be free for businesses too, so the least well-off working people will be paying for their employers broadband from their taxes also.

        That makes no sense at all! The least well off are forced to pay for it now or do without it!

        You were once a Labour MP so understand the logic of nationalising basic requirements. Good internet access is a fundamental need in modern life and costs people who don't have it. What's the problem

        If their taxes aren’t increasing (unless these “working people” are earning 80k a year) and their WiFi currently costs 40 quid a month.... can you see where I’m going here
