The Tories may or may not be the Nasty Party, but they certainly cost a bomb.
The Financial Times analysis today suggests that the Brexit bill will be €100 billion. This is the beginning of negotiations, so you can expect that figure to drop, a bit. But it is now up there with Trident, the real bomb, whose replacement (another costly Tory promise) is £100bn.
The Trident estimate is at the start of the process, so we can expect it to rise. Overall, on these two items alone the Tories will spend £200 billion.
No wonder the Tories are making no promises about taxes (expect them to go up) or pensions (expect them to fall.)
The Tories are the Costly Party. Only vote for them if you are feeling rich. Very, very rich.
