There is actually a bracket that’s missing here and that is the 40% payers earning over 100k who lose a part of their tax free allowance


Sephi would you agree or disagree with the public’s sample set here ?

Also,

‘ Anyone who votes Conservative represents people that Labour considers as rich.’

Not really true is it considering the red wall collapse at the last GE

Well, I must give you credit for attempting to answer the question you put to me. What you've done is provide a quantitative answer, while mine was 'qualitative'. (In other words you did better than me!)

The article is 7 years old, so perhaps £100K would be more realistic than £70K. But the true point of the article is that whoever is considered by Labour to be rich must be asked to pay more in tax. Btw, with the average salary being c. £36K/annum, I suspect that most Labour supporters would stick with £70K or even lower.

On your red wall point, yes you're right.
