10p or not 10p? That is the question!

Dr Ian Gibson MP* (Lab, Norwich North) refers to the abolition of the 10p tax rate as a 'sledgehammer' in today's Mail on Sunday

"When I look into the eyes of my constituents and try to tell them that life is improving, they don't believe me ..."

There is an easier way, chaps; vote UKIP - who'd increase the personal allowance to £10,000 (bullet point 6)! Or, if you are a Tory loyalist, press George Osborne to listen to Lord Forsyth, who "proposed abolishing the 10p rate and raising the personal allowance to £7,185."

* Who is of course, only one of many Labour MPs and PPCs who doubt the wisdom of this.
