Reform UKFarage’s numbers don’t add up
Stuart Adam, a senior economist at Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank, said increasing the annual income tax allowance to £20,000 could cost between £50bn and £80bn a year, depending on the details.
“As it stands, I don’t think they’ve really set out how they would pay for such big giveaways,” he said.
“Of course they don’t have to do that yet – we’re not at a general election. But at some point, if they’re going to be a party of government, they would have to make those numbers add up.”

SubtleBlade ⚔️#NationalInsurance cut to kick in but more pay #tax - BBC News -
Combining the impact of the thresholds freezes and the NI cuts, independent think tank the #InstituteForFiscalStudies (#IFS) estimates that for every £1 given back to workers (including the self-employed) this year by the NI cuts, £1.30 will have been taken away due to the threshold changes between 2021 and 2024, with this rising to £1.90 in 2027.
