  Quote from Fraser Nelson:
  Anyone paid £13,300 and given a £300 pay rise would be amazed to hear that they had been "lifted out of poverty". The idea of a binary poverty divide is laughable, existing only in the imagination of policy wonks. Yet this bizarre concept has dictated British policy for years. This has a real human cost; the poorest 10 per cent, for example, are ignored because they don't have a chance of crossing the threshold. When Labour left office, the poorest tenth were actually poorer than they were in 1998/9. Except no one really noticed, because Labour's policy was not about people. It was about manipulating spreadsheets and playing a Big Data game.
  
  And he's a leftish winger.
