…or maybe not (and no-one loves a Labour screw up story more than me). "Labour later released advice from the Commons clerks' office which confirmed that, if passed, their amendment would leave the top rate of income tax for 2013/14 "undecided" rather than reducing it to 40p." http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/press-association/news-detail.html?newsId=N0364321334700479660A&packageId=N0388671334764449321A&lang=en.
