    I just looked at the BBC Calculator.

    A single person, driving 10 miles each way to work in a small car using unleaded petrol, earning £15k/year. Not drinking at all, not smoking, no flights. No other income/no savings. Would be £12 worse off per year.

    It looks like labour is now going to take a socialist stance. Take from the rich to give to the poor.
    .

    I disagree, they are taking a corporatist stance, taking from everybody and giving to the banks.
