    It seems like a good time to tax drug sales. It is a shame that self employed dealers enjoy tax free profits when everyone else has to pay huge sums to the taxman.

      They'll privatise the NHS by way of a new coronavirus national insurance.

      Then clawback all the furlough money by retrospective tax changes targetting those that 'took furlough when it wasn't necessary'.

      Tax rises in a global recession? Only fools and horses work.
      Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

        Cancelling HS2 would save £100 billion for a start.

        Come on Boris, you know it makes sense (cancelling it I mean, not HS2 itself! ).

          How is he going to tell friends that there will be no more bids for HS2 contracts? Party is nothing without its donors.

            Can't we just burn the Quantitative Easing paperwork and pretend none of this ever happened?

              Oh and never mind HS2.. The Crossrail grand opening is going to be a blast.

                Exactly. Since everyone is working from home, we don’t need HS2. The government needs to see how this working from home boom works out, so they don’t waste money on public transport.

                    Hold the land they have purchased for HS2 for 5 years and give it to and my mates to sell. Tidy ROI there.

                      Especially as a good public transport infrastructure makes disease spread more easily.
