Minimum wage and tax rates

78 replies

A few Tory MP's are suggesting removing the minimum wage.

Tory MP's also want the 50% tax band removed.

Tory MP's want the inheritance tax level raised.

To me this is Tory thinking in a nutshell.

Gaston, I number of Tory MP's have suggested it in Parliment and have considered a private members bill.

The other suggestion was not to upgrade it during this Parliment so the value drops with inflation.

How many want each of those things?

Most parties have a few members with ridiculous ideas which are not supported by the majority.

(there might be an argument for raising inheritance tax threshold sometime but not in the current financial pit)

No way would they remove minimum wage, I am no fan of the tories but that is scaremongering.
