NEVER mind the £900 in five years Mrs Perry, but you appear of course to have forgotten another two facts put out recently by the OBR (Office of Budget Responsibility).
1. The lowest paid workers in this country (those earning less than £11,000) have received a big fat zero with regard to take home pay.
2. Many earners in the higher tax bracket have realised an increase in their take home pay of some £286 in this budget alone (due to increases in their tax free allowance and higher tax threshold).
Not forgetting of course that older pensioners have had their tax-free allowance frozen for a number of previous years’ budgets.
Typical Conservative ideology yet again.
