I’ll try that again - typed in the middle of the night during a bout of insomnia. The brain was very tired but wouldn’t go to sleep! Would a Mod please delete my post of 24 Sep 22 - 09.59 PM above?

The highest earners (£150,001 pa and above) will benefit from a reduction in the rate of tax of 5% on their earnings at Addtional Tax Rate, £150,001 and above, and 1% on earnings at the Basic Rate, £12,751 to £50,270.

Those earning between £12,751 pa and £150,000 pa will benefit from a reduction of 1% on earnings at the Basic Rate, £12,571 to £50,270.

Those earning less than £12,751 don’t pay tax, and they will see no benefit at all.

During a Cost of Living crisis, and at a time when energy bills have doubled this year v. last year, do you really not perceive the gross inequity of giving the greatest benefit to those who need it the least, a lesser benefit to middle-earners, and nothing at all to those whose need is the greatest? Surely, even an inveterate nit-picker can see it, or are you so blinded by Tory dogma and propaganda that this inequity is lost on you?
