Fit and proper taxation, that doesn't just penalise those that can't afford it. For example the free school meals money is coming from forcing private schools into VAT taxation, whilst they're currently exempt. The extra money for those caring will come from reversing the inheritance tax cut.

If nothing else, he's funny.
With policies such as stopping large enterprises from using small businesses for interest free loans? Massive concerns driving small businesses out of business, by deliberately withholding money from the small businesses that supply them.
Corporation tax is not the greatest tax in the world, but it should never have been cut in the first place. Labour's policy is to simply reverse that change. It can never be justified to have a tax giveaway, when you're funding it with further austerity to public services, cuts to disability benefits, and by creating a social care crisis.
£10 minimum wage will mean up to a £4,500 for some, and that kind of boost has been a long time coming. the IFS predict that households will be up to 20% worse off by 2021 at the rate we're going, so what is the alternative? Same old Government with their fingers in their ears?
I wouldn't call it funny - perhaps sad would be a better description? And I'll not even get on to homelessness.
