For who? The people hit by this tax only have one paycheque, I doubt, say, a junior doctor is going 'oh - thank goodness, instead of just taking back that £1,508 a year from me by reversing Jeremy Hunt's NI cuts, you are taking that money via PAYE in a *different way*!|

For the benefit of any doubt I am joking, but at the same time it’s fairly baffling why *any* Labour politician would want it briefed that they take inspiration from Trump’s mass deportation policies.
