Whats your definition of a working person?
Starmers definition is below.. it's confused me! Even if someone has savings or property and have a Jon, they are working people in my eyes.
What's your definition?
In an interview during a Commonwealth leaders' summit, the prime minister was asked whether those who work, but get additional income from assets such as shares or property, would count as working people.
He replied that they "wouldn't come within my definition" - but warned against making "assumptions" about what that meant for tax policy.
He said he thought of a working person as someone who “goes out and earns their living, usually paid in a sort of monthly cheque" and who can't "write a cheque to get out of difficulties".
Speaking afterwards, his spokesman sought to clarify that those with a "small amount of savings" could still be defined as working people.
