Conventional wisdom has it that political parties win power by promising to cut and not raise our taxes.
But, as we report today, Labour is now gambling that there is one exception to this: the NHS.
It is examining how it can go into the next election promising to increase funding to the health service at a time when public finances will be no less tight than they have been for the past five years.
To do so the party realises it will almost certainly have to ask us to pay more and hope that we care more about our future health than our current tax bill.
