Just out of interest how much do you have to earn to be in the 'middle income' category seeing as they are talking about possible tax rises for them?

Something tells me that living in Cornwall I should be safe given wages down here but getting a heads up is still a good idea.

Still higher than it was in March 2003 when it was about the 3,300 mark.

Still lower than when Tony Blair won the 1997 general election.  noooo:

I still prefer to think that John Major & Co lost the election. Blair just happened to be in the right place to take advantage of that. evil:
