Not really going to help the unemployed or people on a low income though, is it?

ASIDE: yet another example of the spread of shoddy journalism there. The article says:

  >He also said he would cut the basic rate of income tax to 19 pence in April 2023, one year earlier than expected... 

without actually telling us what the current rate is. I see this all the time these days; an article will say something is changing to X, without telling you what it was beforehand.

"From now on I'm going to have 3 slices of toast for breakfast" is pretty meaningless if you don't know whether I currently have one or six!
