More than 40 MPs are said to have signed a motion, challenging Gordon Brown's decision to scrap the 10p income tax rate prompting Alistair Darling to meet Labour MPs in an attempt to avert defeat on the 10p tax rate.
MPs are furious that this change will leave lower earners worse off. Ex-minister Frank Field is urging the government to compensate anyone who has been affected by this tax change.
Have you been affected by this tax change, if so, what do you feel Labour should do to help low-earners?
will only cause you to regret it later.
We have all been betrayed by New Labour politicians and local Labour councillors and the fact that so many are still voting for these people who have betrayed us, is a terrible indictment upon what we are now.
Booo! My Tax rose £14.50
Work out the complicated arithmetic and I gain £2.95, not £17.45.
I may be a pensioner, but my brain tells me something is rotten in the State of Blooming Britain.
When i do overtime it means i am working for 3.75 per hour!
Thanks to the 10ptax rate going. What the point of working!
Any person that can do basic math can understand that if you raise the lower band of tax by doubling it you are certainly going affect the standard of living of the people in that bracket.
The "genius" that came up with this idea should be ashamed to call himself Prime Minister and should be booted out of the Labour Party.
