YouGov has the Tories ten points ahead as the Tories unveil their marriage tax plans

Tonight’s YouGov poll has the Tories on 40, Labour on 30 and the Lib Dems on 20, rounding off a good week for the Tories, The Tory marriage tax proposal has also just been unveiled. It will allow people who are in a marriage or a civil partnership who don’t use all of their personal allowance–currently set at £6,475–to transfer it to their spouse as long as they do not earn more than £44,000. The policy would cost £550 million and will be paid for by the Tories’ planned banking levy.
