Second homeowners, pensioners and investors are now facing tens of thousands of pounds more in tax as our Chancellor is trying to raise 14 billion

pounds in an additional tax review this is to make up for the 40 billion pound hole that's been placed in our budget because of the

lockdowns, the senseless lockdowns due to the bad data that was presented to the Prime Minister by Cambridge

University only weeks ago and this is what no one understands.

Furlo and lockdown and people getting 80% of their wage must be paid for at some point in the future and guess who pays.

Low income and middle income people. It's not the rich that are going to pay this, it's

you that are going to pay for your own furlough. And that's what's just not very well

understood right now by the public is when they get these big

chunks of benefits being handed out by the government they think it comes from some

all-powerful big bank account but it doesn. It comes from our citizens because there's

nothing happening right now in this country. Everything around me is

locked down and closed. There's no one in the streets and therefore there's no economy, there's no money being made,

there's no livelihoods being made, which means at some point we're going to have to pay for this.

And a furlow check is a great temporary measure,

but it means we're all going to have to pay for this going forward.

And taxing the citizens is the worst thing you can do.

We're trying to get out of the worst recession in the last hundred years. Any taxation is going to hurt business.

And that's why one of my primary focuses on my first policy as your next mayor of London is to get London back to work and that means

we have six month holidays when it comes to congestion charges and when it comes to business rates.

We cut them to zero.

And that's the only way we can promote people coming into London to spend money.

We can promote getting businesses back to work,
