Crackdown on PSCs in public sector

How far do you think will Gideon might go with:

"Confirm plans to cut income tax for middle class workers and the low paid by raising the tax free allowance, and the 40p higher rate threshold."?

The headlines are mixed and some are confusing the wider issue ("100,000 companies, 400m tax") with the public sector portion (20,000, 70m). This has obviously been briefed as focusing on the public sector, but it may be for the briefing or, more likely, they will phase it in, beginning with the public sector. Afterall, it's will be easier to enforce in the public sector. Based on the details in some articles, it still sounds more like as ESI approach than an outright ban.

Hope not - I am already getting shafted by the last two...

Not far - he'll move increase to what was promised to happen in April 2020
