    We cannot afford to give people what they need is a constant Tory theme. We cannot afford the NHS, social benefits, care for the disabled.

    You still cannot deny that 10% inflation should mean 10% extra taxes returned. And as such we can afford it. We could afford it even more if the well off paid a fair amount of tax or may be we stopped giving money to oil companies instead of actually taxing them.
