    Nick Clegg challenges Tories on income tax breaks for poor


    Nick Clegg has called for fresh income tax breaks for the UK's lowest-paid workers as he tries to distance the Liberal Democrats from their Conservative coalition partners before the 2015 general election. Tory officials, however, last night immediately seized on the plan to raise the point at which people pay income tax by 5 per cent, to £10,500, as being uncosted, potentially "ruining the economic plan".

    Raising the personal allowance from £6,475 to £10,000 was a key Lib Dem manifesto pledge in 2010 and has taken 2.7 million people out of income tax entirely since the policy was adopted. The Deputy Prime Minister wants the 2014 Budget to raise the tax threshold to £10,500, in what he describes as a "workers' bonus".
