There’s less than six months until national elections in Wales and Scotland.

Yes that’s part of the concern. They don’t seem capable of landing the good stuff.

Yes, too many groups that hoped for protection from a Labour govt are living in fear atm. Some because essential financial support is being removed & others because they face constant media/political lies & stigmatisation - with little to no defence from ministers.

In Spring 2024 they were polling in the 40%s.

The fall is mighty.

They’ve upset the left while failing to convince the right.

A poor 3rd in ultra safe Caerphilly.

Terrible handling of sinister welfare cuts.

Prevarication over 2 child benefits cap.

Boxed themselves in on fiscal rules and EU membership.

Dreadful judgement at most turns.

McSweeney strategy is failing them all.

I don't think the biggest problem is that this relief exists. The total allowance is 60k. That's just mad.

You can also park 20k in your ISA, 9k in JISA per kids, 2.8k in JSIPP per kid.
A family of 4 can shelter just over 183k per year from tax.

It's about equalising the relief so rich people don't get an unfair advantage over lower earners
