Well done Michael Rosen.

I've just had an email from Rachel Reeve (because I'm still a Labour member), the usual anti-budget guff. But not a mention of the four-year freeze on the tax-free allowance. When wages are going up faster than for many years, that drags the lower-paid into paying tax or paying more tax. No mention of the massive pension tax reliefs for the richest, just a vague and formulaic mention of "tax cuts for the rich." Well what do you know. I think I'll vote Monster Ravin' Loony next time.
