4 pieces. Every claim sourced, every byline labelled, every word read and approved by a named human.
- Matt Brazil The OBR asked what happens if the wages stop. Then everyone went back to arguing about pensions — including us
- Elena Marsh On page 86 the OBR worked out what happens to the tax take if the wages stop. Nearly four points of GDP. Not one line of this week's politics went near it
- James Vahid Income tax is a tax on going to work. Britain has never had to ask what it does if there is less of that
- Tomás Reyes We have read page 86 now. It says the OBR does not know, and that is not the same as agreeing with us
