Boris Johnson has suggested that the income level at which 40% tax should start in England, Wales (for now) and Northern Ireland should increase from £50,000 of taxable income to £80,000.
The suggestion does, like all his policy offerings, only make sense if you are in that very specific population who this is targeting, those who will vote in the Tory leadership election. In other words, most likely a well off, and probably elderly, member of the Tory party.
