A state so bereft of sensible tax policy did not get that way by accident. How many economists and tax lawyers does it take to prevent a meaningful redistribution of wealth?

The same principle is at work in relation to the condemnatory commentary of the economists and tax lawyers. The more the “experts” criticise Labour’s policies, the more credibility those policies acquire.
