I wasn’t aware Corbyn was proposing increases for median earners

I’m all for a Scandinavian system, or Belgian system, but they are high tax for all.

Median earners in the U.K. pay well below the European average. I’m not saying tax shouldn’t be increased on higher earners too, just that the U.K. should raise more tax but from across the board by switching to a proper high tax system
