How can it be done instead of increasing the higher rate ? When there is already a higher rate after the complete loss of the personal tax allowance ?

 |  There are many different ways they could have raised this revenue. They could have increased the higher rate. They could have increased the additional rate. They could have done any combination thereof. Instead they chose an ideological route which creates a marginal tax rate of 60%.
 
But, so far, that is irrelevant to this election campaign.

			Not really a surprise. They had already looked into this and decided there was no criminal matter and have come to the same conclusion again. I think there should be questions about the decision to reopen it after being lobbied by a Tory MP. Nobody thought it would go anywhere but it allowed them to get a few headlines of her being investigated.

			This is the second time a police inquiry into Labour launched at the behest of the Tories has gone nowhere.
 If that was us doing that we would get a caution at least.

			To be honest it's better we have this situation.
 It would be worse if she did do something but the police didn't want to investigate because it would look bad. It's in the public interest that politicians are more likely to be investigated over such things than we would.
 
 You want to have confidence that it was an independent decision based on this 'new' evidence rather than pressure from a Tory MP.

			The Tories and Guido are hyping a big poll to come.
 But so far we've had three that show no change or movement to Labour.

			Guido is soiling himself with excitement at a JL Partners (who?) poll that shows Labour’s lead tightening to 12 points, as the Tories seemingly claw back age 65+ voters from Reform.https://order-order.com/2024/05/28/p...nly-12-points/ 
Given the whopping size of Labour’s lead in many other polls conducted by companies that repeat their polling much more often, I think this is likely to be what they call an outlier …
