It’ll probably win votes but I don’t feel it’s a terribly clever idea. European level services with US level taxes funding it is an equation that doesn’t work anymore.
If they’re not going to maintain these taxes or raise taxes further how exactly are they going to improve services? Borrow it? Cut elsewhere – But then what do you cut?
We need frank conversations with hard truths and no one with a hope of power seems willing to provide them (probably because they don’t win votes.)
Come on Labour, why do I have to give my name and email? (obviously its so they can blast me with communications)
It just massively puts a dampener on the attack
It just tells me that I will pay “more per year” but doesn’t specify how much.
We really need a calculator to know we’re being stiffed by the Tories?
What a scam site that is!
– ~~No matter salary you select, you always get the answer that you are £1,513 worse off each year. Why even have a salary select screen if the answer is a constant?~~
– You have to provide contact details before you are given the generic, identical answer
– Labour don’t believe anybody in the UK earns over £100k. Is this because you would be better off?
EDIT: Looks like cookies might affect the details given. Still doesn’t have enough capacity for someone that earns over 100k though. Anyone else find that weird?
OK but can we have a calculator to show how much better off we will be under Labour?
Answer = NO
Tax will go up, it always goes up, but just maybe there’s a chance that services will improve.
Anyone got a link? I can only find news articles talking about it. Interested in seeing this.
> Under the Tories’ tax plans you’ll pay:
> £2,488 MORE PER YEAR
That’s quite a lot.
Lowest ‘point scoring’ polotics BS going.
They have no policies that mean we’d be paying less tax with them. And, when they come into power, they almost certainly won’t given thier expected spending commitments the paper touches on.
They’d be far better talking about actual policies of thier next government. Or, just generally shutting up. The conservatives are doing a great job shooting themselves in the foot. Labour would do better saying nothing that saying this crap. SAy nothing, let the conservatives tie thier own noose and get elected.
This is going to backfire so spectacularly over the next 2 parliaments that it’s genuinely hard not to laugh.
No labour government in history has reduced taxes. This will not be the first.
So Labour are going to cut taxes, and update the personal allowance freeze, and fix the NHS?
This is very disingenuous, the calculation is made based on figures in the 2027/28 tax year.
Smh this calculator doesn’t even go up to my salary.
It doesn’t even break down how I’m worse off. I know how I am, but it doesn’t say why.
Because nothing that Labour have ever done, or would have done, has made people worse off, of course…
All they need to do hammer home that we are paying high taxes n getting nothing in return. Labour shouldn’t promise tax cuts but instead properly funded public services n rebuilding the nation.
Every time election comes it just seems like Labour just say how bad the Tories are rather than what positives Labour would bring. Labours entire campaign is just “Tory bad!” instead of focussing on what the positives voting for Labour would actually make to the status quo.
This would be a lot more effective if it wasn’t farming names and emails.
The bottom line is, we’re all fucked. So why does it matter which hole?
I don’t mind paying more to help those less well off, just have to hope it isn’t siphoned off to another Tory donator.

So Labour still refuse to undo Brexit damage and plan to blame the tories?
Labour better have some BIG ideas otherwise this’ll be another milliband stone
I get one of these at the end of every fucking month
All well and good but voting Labour is a wasted vote in my area so I’ll be voting SNP to increase the odds of getting the Torys out in my area
