Good old money saving TM. Brexit will cost a fortune, Trident costs a fortune, the coming tax breaks cost a fortune, the election was needless spending (albeit only a few millions). Yeah, she's all over saving money, just you know, saving it from the right people.

JC has already come out with apparently telling the glastonbury organiser that he will scrap trident asap yet it was in his manifesto to renew? Also it could be argued that tax breaks for the top earners increases the tax income.
