Yeah I've looked and can't find anything.

Labour needs to sort itself out with this kind of thing.
I also checked, nothing in the red book, a brief mention in the grey towards the end as saving 535 million.

In a weird, roundabout way most people are going to be too poor to really benefit from it anyway - It only kicks in if you're in a marriage where one of you makes less than 10k a year. Everyone is entitled to their first 10k of earnings tax free. The Married Person's Allowance lets you transfer any of your leftover allowance to your partner. HMRC applies that 10k (or however much is left) tax free to your partner's income, and you get about £250 a year if the entire £10k allowance is transferred, i.e. if one of you makes zero income.

So to get the allowance, you'd have to be in a marriage where one person doesn't work or makes less than 10k a year, and the other person can afford for them not to work. And if that's the case, £250 a year is chump change. If you work part time it'll be even less.

Again, I say this as someone who currently gets the allowance and uses it to level out financially after xmas. In the grand scheme of things it's really not a lot, generally it barely touches the sides on a post-xmas overdraft. Am I annoyed I won't get it any more? A bit, at first. But it's really not a huge deal compared to the prospect of actually being able to claim PiP or the UC replacement without having to worry about being beaten to death with a clipboard.

But yeah, unfortunately the messaging from most sites is that Labour are 'taking it away' from 'hard working families' and most voters don't know enough about it to really appreciate how small a loss it is or how it only really applies to single income families who can probably do without it.

Of course, the absolute state the press is in, it's entirely possible McDonnell has been screaming a clarification from the rooftops and we'd never loving hear it.

Look, nobody is saying that the CIA assassinated the Queen to disrupt the election and prevent a socialist government taking power in the UK. That's an insane conspiracy theory and anyway it'd be easy enough to just hatch a replacement queen from the eggs in storage like they've done all the other times she died.

That's almost right, it basically transfers a grand of the lower earner's tax allowance to the higher, so there's a thousand quid less that they'll pay tax on which ends up being the saving of around £250. But the effect is as you stated. It's not game changing but it certainly helps people in my situation where I work full time but my wife's health isn't great so she works part time and earns maybe £9000 a year. But this isn't anything that would change the way I'd vote. £20 a month for Labour would be a great deal! Just a shame they leave themselves open to the easy attack by getting rid of it.

2 points fewer than before, no need to read much more into it than that as it's all based on predicted turnouts and demos.

The replies are very silly, but from an optics point of view it might have made sense to include something Jewish people wear in the bit about turbans and crosses and hijabs. Would have been my first thought at reading the script.

Although I'm sure people would be finding some other excuse to call him an anti semite.
