A Significant Sum

The Labour Party proposes to increase income tax for those with annual incomes exceeding £80 000.

Wondering why they chose that sum, it eventually occurred to me that £80 000 is just a few thousand pounds higher than the salary of a Member of Parliament.

- and probably several thousand pounds lower than the pay of an average political journalist, which is not going help the image of Corbyn and McDonnell in the press.
