I'm now convinced the Tory plan is for Corbyn to get in and take Brexit full in the face, then blame Labour for everything going to poo poo.
It's a totally loopy conspiracy theory that definitely isn't true but christ if it doesn't make more sense than the received wisdom.

The rebrand of 'Conservative Party' as 'Theresa May's Team' looks especially suspect through that lens.

Not necessarily, the rebrand essentially means that if they go down in flames it's Theresa May going down, not The Conservative Party.

I genuinely think they thought she was doing so well because nobody had actually talked to her, and now people are talking to her and it turns out that once you do she's like a markov chain generator, could be mistaken for human at a distance in a poor light but throws a wobbler and starts getting stuck in recursive loops when you sit down and talk to it.

Paxman might be a Tory but he sure loves to gently caress with them when they don't have good answers. Neil won't press people unless they're on the left, at which point has does his just asking questions windbag act.

But that's already in the 40% tax band. The base rate is 20% and it comes in past your personal allowance.

I genuinely can't tell what they're trying to suggest other than a 5% tax hike on the base rate which seems far more like a tory policy.

Even if there is, I expect any consequences will be the same consequences the Tories faced the last time they broke electoral law (ie zero).

Yeah whoever couldn't think of a better word to imply 'general' than 'basic' is going to find themselves in a bit of hot water because that's just factually untrue.

I legit think I pay too little tax. I mean, in the end it's just like a third of the gross income or something like that, which is pretty low by world standards. Anyone complaining about a tax increase on > £80k is a loving rear end in a top hat

But even then what's the suggestion, that there's going to be a new tax band at 80k and it's going to be 25% which would be a massive cut? 25% higher? Putting the top rate at 70%?

What does it meeeean?

It's a lie about the basic rate going up. They'll get skewered for this. Social media has been proven to count as official campaigning material.

Exactly. If you're imagining a world where the Tories are trying to throw the election, it makes sense to temporarily rebrand as 'Theresa May's Team' so that you can immediately dump her and all associated election baggage, and deflect any and all future questions about "how did you gently caress this up so completely" with "that was Theresa May who's gone now and we've made a clean break, let's not dwell on the past".
