On the subject of Labour's unswerving support for the poor, another thread reminded me of this from the last Labour 'Govt'.
Quote:
More than one million owners of older cars will see their road tax double over the next two years under the Government's controversial "green" car tax reforms.
Used car prices plummet in buyers' market
In full: New tax bands | Fair deal for drivers
Your View: Has Labour forgotten the poor?
Official figures, obtained by The Daily Telegraph, disclose that 1.1 million motorists who bought their cars between 2001 and 2006 will pay more than £400 annually in duty - compared to £210 or less now.

Yep, that would have helped the poor such a lot eh - just like abolishing the 10p tax band...
