Increase the income tax personal allowance to £21,000 and link to inflation

We believe it's unacceptable for low paid workers and pensioners to pay tax on anything below £21,000, which is just over what someone would earn working 38 hours a week at the National Living Wage. The revenue should be recovered from those in higher earner brackets (over £140,000) and businesses.

We believe the current system is unfair to those on low wages and pensions. No one earning or receiving other income of under £21,000 a year should pay income tax, and this should be increased in line with inflation in future. Many people are in crisis - we believe it is time that those who are better placed to pay, do so.
