FYI - I have sent the following message to BBC 2 Newsnight:

Dear Liz

If you are going on the 10p income tax issue, you may be interested to know that Gordon Brown is doing a live webcast at 7pm. As chair of Save the Labour Party I am asking if we can get a straight-forward Labour answer which will work on the doorstep.

This will also be a test of Labour's readiness to embrace new media. So I have posted my question and look forward to seeing the live event. It will be very interesting to see whether the questions put to the PM reflect current issues.

I have also submitted a question along these lines. I hope Gordon addresses these concerns rather than casting them aside.

To be honest, while I remember fulminating on this issue on Tom Miller's blog at the time of the budget, it wasn't big news in the Left press at the time.

It's not just the government that's not interested in the single working poor.
