What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Ed Davey outlined a plan for a £17 billion income tax cut, which he argues would be funded by growth achieved through rejoining the EU’s single market and customs union. This proposal would involve raising income tax thresholds and increasing the 45p additional rate of tax. Separately, Mel Stride urged Andy Burnham to rule out further tax increases on businesses to prevent investment and hiring decisions from being put on hold.
