TORY MARRIAGE TAX PLANS

Tory marriage tax plans: what they give with one hand, they take away with the other.



With the Tories you always need to look behind the headlines. Their marriage tax plans are more evidence of that. What they give with one hand, they take with the other.


The Tories are giving to some married couples, but taking away from children with their plans to cut Child Trust Funds and Tax Credits.


It's not just that widows and wives who've been forced to leave their husbands get nothing. Two out of three married couples get nothing. And most couples who work get nothing.


The Tories' choice is to take money away from families with children. That's not our choice. We're committed to standing by the Child Trust Fund, the Child Tax Credit, and protecting schools.


This shows once again that the Conservatives have not changed.
