I'm all for uping taxes just not VAT as it's a tax on the poor, in theory you would expect old Labour to have the same thoughts on the topic as me but Labour has been overrun by Red Tories so who knows what they think these days.
I agree with this. The 20% rate was supposedly a temporary austerity measure, but when they announced the "ending" of austerity they forgot to put the VAT rate back to 17.5%!
