No - I don't read the Daily Mail.
Are you disagreeing with the facts?

Funny because all the people I know do work who will most definitely suffer from this, teachers, TAs most definitely do work the 37-40 hour week.

The quality of counter-arguments on this thread has really taken a nose dive.

So SFL statistically because slightly more people who work 21 hours will suffer than those who work the full 40 suffer that makes it ok. That is what you are saying...

I've already demonstrated how Osborne could have made these changes in raising money by not touching tax credits, by not curting things such as inheritance tax and corporation tax. Ah well as poorly as Corbyn is doing, this will give Labour a big shot in the arm, but if you don't think so, feel free to party on.

What was wrong with the stamp duty changes? The previous system left big gaps in house prices. Particularly around £250k. The current system is much fairer. I think it benefits all not just the buy to letters.

No that's not what I'm saying.
Someone who works 40 hours a week (at the current minimum wage) would lose £13 / week.

The point that I was making was that the figures that keep being quoted (£1300 / year) only apply to people in the 2nd Income Decile which you could not possibly be in if you work more than 21 hours per week (unless you work for a company like Monsoon who do not pay the minimum wage).
