Neither of the two main parties “has set out an honest set of choices” to the public over their tax and spending plans, the Institute of Fiscal Studies has said.

In a critical assessment of the Conservative and Labour party manifestos, the thinktank said both parties presented a misleading picture of the impact their polices would have over the course of the next parliament. It warned that neither addressed the long-term challenges facing the UK.

Labour’s proposals would raise spending to its highest level since the mid-1980s and tax levels to record levels in peacetime, the thinktank said. But the party’s plans for tax hikes aimed at top earners and businesses may “not raise anything like” the £48.6bn claimed and its proposals could turn out to be economically damaging, it added.

The thinktank’s deputy director, Carl Emmerson, accused Labour of “pretending that everything can be paid for” under plans to raise taxes on the richest, many of whom will avoid paying higher rates of tax.

“The shame of the two big parties’ manifestos is that neither sets out an honest set of choices. Neither addresses the long-term challenges we face. For Labour, we can have pretty much everything – free higher education, free childcare, more spending on pay, health, infrastructure,” he said.

“And the pretence is that can all be funded by faceless corporations and ‘the rich’. The case [for higher taxes] needs to be made with honesty about what it would mean for tax payments, not pretending that everything can be paid for by ‘someone else’.”

late reply

And have we trended towards doing that? We still kill stuffloads of civilians, and our government is filled with people who are probably less-concerned than ever with civilian causalities.

demonizing the people in charge is not going to change the fact that killing civilians is never the intention of the US

Ending US-intervention does not mean 'doing nothing'. The best hope for a better Iraq/Syria is to aid the people living in that region, on the ground, who are fighting the lion's share of the Civil War. The Republic of Iraq and the Peshmerga are the ones who are going to push out ISIL, not our drone strikes. We can still supply them with training, military equipment, and intelligence.

Khan is right about one thing; being prepared for terrorism and other crimes is part and parcel of being a big city

too bad they're not prepared though eh
