A film criticising the Conservative Party’s married tax proposals was released this week. The film features TV actors Neil Pearson and Michelle Collins together with members of the public, widows and single parents saying ‘Don’t Judge My Family’.
This week Conservative marriage tax plans have been condemned by the chairs of the Widowed and Young Foundation, the National Association of Widows, the founder of the Merry Widows Forum and over seventy other widows and widowers from across the country.
