The Tory Magic Money Tree

More likely to be tax charge by the taxpayers just like Labour Party did with Gordon Brown promise of broadband tax 50p

Which is slightly smaller than the LibDem one, which in turn is way smaller than the Labour one! Or do Labour share a full forest of them with the Greens?


I have acquaintances in remnote parts of Scotland. One "exchange" which serves around 40 lines is something like 15km from the parent exchange. That will cost hundreds of thousands to duct. Then, for the various premises which spread out in a massive star, some are 9 or 10 km away there will be another massive expense.

Maybe cancel HS2, and if we're not in the EU anymore then the government can directly finance it.

Who's going to build it? Will we import foreign engineers to help out?

Ah, but if Boris gets us out of the EU at the end of October, Scotland won't be part of the UK by 2025.
