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.

The changes in personal tax allowance once you earn over £100k and up to £125k per year are basically a sliding tax band ?

Unless you want to introduce a band for £100-105k, £105k - £110k etc up to £125k and then move into the band 125k+ band ?
