I think our Labour candidate has completely lost it now. What on earth is she on about here - VAT rise? When?! @johnhemming4mp @LibDemspic.twitter.com/QDBIBYJZai

Except most benefit went to rich from that after first few raises because poorest earn less. It wasn't a terrible idea...
The increase in the tax threshold only benefited people on the lower tax rate as the upper threshold was reduced.

-
Exactly, the poorest didn't benefit because they weren't in the tax bracket at all. Well done for acknowledging.
-
Where as raising VAT clobbered the poorest most right?
-
Actually no. Whereas Labour are currently planning to clobber the poorest 10% VAT is mildly progressive as a tax.
-
How did you avoid voting for that?
-
I gave the figures on Labour plans to hit the poorest in society from the IFS.

Sorry my mistake, I thought you were actually giving answers about your 2010-2015 record finally but you were replying to a different post

I am going to bed now. A busy day tomorrow.

Also did you not vote for an increase in upper threshold in March 2015?
