About as long as I expected
LOL, the left are far to quick to celebrate aren't they?
It's not being done this year but could very well start from next. I wouldn't be counting your chicken just yet

My guess is not raising income tax, national insurance or VAT. They might not change the rate but they'll find some way of collecting more tax.

Yes by increasing the number of people who are in work and can pay tax.
ie growth of the economy.
Not all manifesto commitments will be in the first Queens speech of the Parliament.
And I'll guarantee some won't have made it by the last speech of the parliament either.
Lets see shall we?
Which charity do you want to donate to this time?
Though to save your money and be fair to you, my comment is vague enough that it's unlikely to be incorrect, there are always going to be some manifesto pledges that don't see the light of day. But if it transpires that in 5 years time every pledge has been enacted, then by all means come back and remind me and I'll do the donating

Any details on this earn less than 30k and don't pay tax stuff?
Is it incremental? Does it effect those earning more (as in they pay no tax on the first 30k) lots of trumpeting of being the party of the working people but I just see this as being another help to the lower margins of society and your typical average working person being given **** all as usual.

George Osborne doesn't believe in growth, which is just as well as we aren't going to get any £12bn spending cuts planned.

I think it is 30 hours per week on minimum wage, not 30k.
Soldato
Yeah, good luck running a country when you don't collect any tax from people earning under 30k

Carol Monagham MP SNP (from twitter) said:
Cheer up Carol.
It's the same place the Lib Dems used to sit when they were a party. That's where you sit if you come third.
Why would they give 30h of free child care to people who don't work?

Really? Then why did his party colleague say "all politicians lie"

Ah ok, misheard that one
Most people on 30hr minimum wage contracts would struggle to push into the tax brackets anyway so surely a non-story?

This is only when both parents work as I recall.
Also applies to single parents, who work.
The 15 hours is the same for non-working parents as before. (I think)
That is going to be bizarre to see. No Ed and no Clegg. Let alone the other Ed.
