Yes – it is tough out there! But without the Liberal Democrats’ delivering our front page manifesto commitment to raise the tax threshold – we wouldn’t even have that £600. And next year the threshold will rise to £10,000 of earnings before any tax is payable. So how would you use an extra £600?

Well, if people in a job all got their salary up front on 6 April (rather than every week, fortnight or month throughout the year), or equally those on welfare benefits, they would be in a completely different position to make prudent capital outlays, such as not having to pay interest on paying insurance by instalment.
No one, though, will get £600 in a lump sum, so it’s a rather stupid question to ask what anyone would do – let alone whether, overall, other changes leave them worse off !
I would pay for food as living on £1.50 a day on food for me and my family and wouldnt have to worry about selling all our stuff to eat as all goes on bills and the council
