Labour to launch new campaign on “Millionaire’s tax cut”

In the next few days Labour will be rolling out a new campaign in the next few days (perhaps as early as tomorrow) to target the implementation of George Osborne’s “Millionaire’s tax cut” whilst millions are simultaneously hit by real terms cuts to tax credits. The party will be seeking to put pressure on the Coalition with a combination of  including regional leafleting, direct mail letters and online adverts  as we begin to approach the budget.

A Labour source told LabourList this afternoon that “we think the next 40 days are a significant time for the government”. That means as well as seeking to pressure Osborne ahead of the budget, the party will also be hoping to drive through the message in April as millions start to feel the pinch.

    This is a great idea. Labour cuts taxes for the many at the bottom end, Tories for the few at the top. Accentuates the 10p tax rate, which is the best political coup Labour has had in a long while.

    A cleaner met me on the corridor the other day as I was leaving the office and gave me a huge hug. “Thank you, City Mayor,” she told me “that’s been the best news for years.” After I had recovered from my embarrassment, I realised what she was talking about. Salford had just introduced the full Living Wage – becoming the first local authority in Greater Manchester to implement a full Living Wage of £7.45 for every member of staff [...]

    In four weeks time the Chancellor will announce the results of the 2015 spending Review. There won’t be many winners but some will have lost more than others. Political commentators and discussion forums will pass judgement and public sector managers will, yet again, pick through the debris, making do and mending from what ever they can salvage. Before we get overtaken by the detail we should reflect on the bigger picture. What ever the chancellor says on June 26th it [...]

    In less than a month’s time, the UK hosts the G8 Summit. With hunger, tax, trade and transparency all on the agenda, the UK has a unique opportunity to show global leadership on these issues. The scale of hunger is devastating. There is enough food in the world for everyone, yet 1 billion people still go hungry. 2.3 million children every year die from malnutrition – to put that in perspective, that is around 16,000 children every day. Or one [...]

    By Mark Ferguson

    The Labour Party spends a great deal of time beating itself up over its performance in Southern England. We know it simply isn’t good enough, but we can’t seem to put our finger on why exactly that’s the case. Is it demographics? No. Culture? Perhaps. Lack of basic party organisation in some areas? It’s certainly a factor. But whilst we’re flagellating ourselves over our inability to perform south of the Watford gap (outside of London), we should remember that the [...]
