I'm expecting a one-off 20% wealth tax on the top 10%.

This group of people have almost half the country's wealth and are 100 times wealthier than the bottom 10%. Taxing them this way would raise £800bn and not make a single one of them homeless. It is also supported by 74% of the population, making it a sound way for the beleaguered government to win back the voters and prove they mean it when they talk of fairness.

UPDATE: Oh dear, the overwhelming majority of the Cabinet are in the top 10% and enjoy having more money than they can count, so we won't get that tax after all. Never mind, eh? Back to cutting benefits for those who have nothing else.
