The Prime Minister says income tax thresholds have risen taking more people out of the income tax bands.
This is true except for pensioners. Their tax threshold has remained the same thus any pension increase etc is immediately taken away.
Is this just an oversight or is it a deliberate act designed to claw back any slight gain to aid the bloated and misused overseas aid budget?
