What is it with the obsession with the money I make?
If all I cared about was money I’d vote Conservative, they are more pro well off people than Labour.
I vote Labour because I believe those who earn more should give more. If you earn way above the national average wage you don’t miss a £1,000 extra like a family on minimum wage does.
Note: we’ve lived on income support on medical grounds when my health ended my planned career as a geneticist. We know how it is at the bottom of the heap.
