Citizens UK brilliantly confronted the party leaders in the election with miserably poor Treasury cleaners in their campaign for a living wage. They succeeded in squeezing from Labour a promise that a living wage minimum of £7.20 would be paid to all Whitehall staff, even the outsourced.
If the Lib Dem policy of raising the income tax threshold to £10,000 is in fact enacted then that living wage falls to £6.54 an hour.
I look forward to everyone adjusting their targets accordingly…..
Well you need to adjust for whatever has changed to allow the tax band to rise
