What happened
Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey outlined a platform centered on tax cuts and renewed engagement with Europe. The party stated that a Liberal Democrat government would raise the personal tax allowance to £15,000 within five years. This would be paired with increasing the 40% tax threshold from £50,000 to £56,000.

Why it matters
The tax cuts are presented as being funded through economic growth achieved via a 'bold new partnership with Europe.' This vision includes re-joining the EU's single market and the customs union. The party also called for a 10p fuel duty cut until at least Christmas.
UK political figures, including Andy Burnham, Mel Stride, Ed Davey, and Rachel Reeves, are discussing economic policy, including tax rises and growth partnerships with Europe.
