I’m not sure your premise stands up. There are oodles of ways in which higher earners can be hit for more tax, the simplest of which is to introduce higher income tax bands. A basic, universal tax free allowance isn’t objectionable as part of a broader tax policy.
Notwithstadning any of the above it is worth noting that once again the Tory election pledge
du jour amounts to a core vote strategy aimed at boomers.
