   Chancellor Rachel Reeves has decided against raising income tax rates at the   
   Budget later this month.   
      
      
      
   Seems she has finally accepted that hiking income tax would be the final nail   
   in Labour's coffin if that hasn't been struck already.   
      
   I don't think anyone who could believe she was seriously considering doing it,   
   or couldn't see what a massive mistake it would be to do so.   
      
   It wasn't even rational when Starmer is desperate to appease racists, fascists   
   and the far right, to secure their votes. Did he really think they'd applaud   
   such a move, that anyone would ?
