Lib Dem Tweet Storm

[Blair]

We have a manifesto pledge to raise the amount of the personal allowance at which you start paying tax from £8,105 to £10,000, and then followed by another rise to £12,000. This would boost the wages of all workers, and would be offset by a tax on bankers bonuses.

Lib Dem Press Release.

Speaking to journalists at a campaign rally in Richmond, Clegg joked about the continued attacks on him by the Labour leadership, as Labour continued to attack him, in an attempt to to push themselves up from 21% in the polls.

'I saw that the attack dog had been let off the leash this morning- I'm sure a lot of people in Labour will remember the comment by Dennis Healey and dead sheep. I've been attacked in the last week by Owen Smith for bringing down the government, and today I've been attacked for supporting the Government. I really think Labour should calm down a bit, lock themselves in a dark room, and actually work out if they've got a single policy for students, for LGBT rights or even how they're going to form a government.

I'm focused on building our own fair deal for Britain; I'm going to do what most the country have done and put the Labour party on mute.
