"never mind a 2p tax cut, my nan's just spent 36 hours on a trolley, there's a pothole in my street you can see from space, and half the classrooms at my kid's school are out of use because of that dodgy concrete." We can't afford any more tax cuts, stuff needs to be paid for.

One of the side-effects of massive inflation has been that a '2p tax cut' isn't the zinger it once sounded like. But the Tories are just a Thatcher cargo cult these days, so the keep trotting it out and waiting for it to magically work.
