Top rate of tax up to 50%, 40% bracket band reduced by 70k, 45% for income 80-123k. For those earning above 123k, ie the no personal allowance amount, then that's an effective rate of tax of 65% or so.

Welcome back Wayne
I hope it's more accurate than their numbers......
The Tory party has tripled the national debt since taking power.
But massively lowered the deficit. Statistics are only useful in their own context. I'm not saying they've done well, but the books are a lot healthier than 2010. I'm instinctively labour, but Corbyn is way too tax, spend and borrow for my liking.

That doesn't divert from the fact that the amount of tax proposed for those that dare to well for themselves is obscene and arguably could lead to a massive 'brain drain.'
And caused the suicide of hundreds of disabled people by declaring them fit to work despite GP recommendations.
But hey. Cut that deficit !

I think Corbyn would have him publicly flogged for earning more than 20% of that of other Everton staff like the cleaners and ticket office agents myself.
surprised it was so similar as the leak last week.

Just had a quick scan of some of the manifesto policies and they've made some bizarre choices.
They're proposing to spend billions to scrap tuition fees (which will mainly benefit the middle class) but very little to alleviate benefit cuts. No wonder the Tories are neck and neck with them in the North West, they seem to be focusing on appealing to Londoners above all.

Tuition fees pledge is rank bad policy, but what's even more unbelievable is that most students still believe the myth that it will leave them saddled with crippling debt. And I say that as someone who only graduated coming up on 2 years ago. A hugely regressive policy and just sums up the entitlement that fills most people my age. Demand everything for free but refuse point blank that they should have to pay back once they earn a comfortable wage.
Free education at point of use. Then graduates who go on to be successful start paying a little bit back to fund our universities once they earn a decent wage. What on earth is not to support there???

Totally agree, from a party-political point of view it makes a lot of sense. I get the impression they know it's a futile exorcise anyway though.
