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.
