[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 340711, member: 33"] It's a common fallacy that the north is impoverished and the south is affluent but it's not really that simple. Some of the most deprived areas in Britain are in London, for example, Tower Hamlets for example has the highest levels of child poverty in the whole of England. It's just that there are some very rich people in the south which skews the data. It should be less about North vs South and more about reducing inequality. Labour's policy on the basic rate of income tax is weak. They should be arguing to reverse that tax cut and target the money better to help the poorest people in society. People on an average or below average income will barely notice the difference the tax cut will have on their take home pay so it would be more effective if more of it went to those on the lowest incomes. The fact that Labour under Keir Stamer can't make this case is really disheartening. [/QUOTE]
