Not unless growth efforts are accompanied by significant improvements in income distribution, according to research conducted at the Overseas Development Institute. Poverty reduction is a twin function of the rate of growth and of changes in income distribution. The research shows better distribution has as much impact on reducing poverty as has increased growth. And given predicted rates of economic growth, it emerges as the factor that will make the main difference between success and failure for new 'pro-poor' growth strategies.

If you lowered their tax they'll only spend it on more fags and chips. This way you're doing poor people a favour.

When, I wonder, will McBean be for the chop? And what will take over for the last several months of freefall meltdown?

I just came past Parliament Square in a taxi - at least 20 police cars, two ambulances (one roared off with sirens going), all the south side of the Square by the House of Commons roped off with scores of police directing traffic away from there.

Has someone finally had enough and shot one of our thieving incompetent MPs?

A Scottish angle.

The 10% abolition is obviously part of the move to Socialism to counteract the SNP, as defined by Wendy Alexander.
So the Labour Party's actions over the 10% rate surely prove that they are "the Party of progressive taxation" (Wendy Alexander again).

You couldn't make it up.

Cue a minor (unannounced) adjustment to working tax credit and everyone's happy - no u-turn, the 22/20% reduction goes ahead and no-one can accuse 'em of making the 10% people worse off.

'Ere, Guido, O/T and maybe not your scene, but have you seen the viral pdf on European footballer's salaries (top 100 or so) that's doing the rounds? Lots of oddly similar amounts, but not the 70K a week you read about, more often it's 68,426 for some reason.

2008-04-03T18:09:00.000+01:00

in a way ime quite pleased that the corruption and lies are comming to the fore , the lie of the 10p tax band is alarming , but in business questions today we find out that the annual child poverty report is to be unuseually delayed until after the local elections (as it contains bad news allegedly) ,

you couldnt make it up

read crammers blogg on eu knowledge , there going to tell you what to think now (the fifth principal)

2008-04-03T17:20:00.000+01:00

"did not notice this last year", they noticed it last year but then they though their seats were safe...... I suspect their trough space is more important to them than the working man.

dont forget the licensing minister has just said the words he spoke "didnt acurately reflect his real views"!!!

Look you are all wrong. NuLab has to pay the expenses of a very expensive and well respected Speaker.

They have to tax the poor to pay for it.

2008-04-03T16:30:00.000+01:00

All that sanctimonious stuff, day in, day out from Labour in the final years of the last Tory government about 'fat cats', and the Tories only being on the side of the rich, has now been shown for what it was.... words and nothing more.

Actions speak louder than words.

Labour are further to the right than the Tories when it comes to enriching the rich and bashing the working poor, and look at the 'fat cats' now.

2008-04-03T16:15:00.000+01:00

Gordon still doesn't get it. By abolishing the 10p tax band he is effectively making those paid under £18,500 a year approx £255 p.a. worse off as they wont benefit from the reduction of income tax from 22% to 20% but "So What !"

It is about time somebody pointed this out. I can't believe the alleged champions of the poor did not notice this last year when it was first announced by the then Chancellor!

I expect they were all too busy counting their expenses claims

2008-04-03T15:53:00.000+01:00

This is exactly what Hague was trying to get Harman to explain on PMQs.
Just like her boss, she just recited a few well-rehearsed sound-bites.
