Claim: Personal allowance threshold changes mean someone working full time on the minimum wage has seen a "£1,000 reduction in their tax".
Fact-check: Minimum wage earners haven't seen a '£1,000 reduction in their tax' compared to what they used to pay - Full Fact
Verdict: this is potentially misleading, because a "£1,000 reduction" could be understood in different ways. the figure is based on a counterfactual estimate of the additional amount someone on the minimum wage would pay in income tax and national insurance contributions  in 2023/24, had thresholds increased in line with inflation since 2010. it's not an estimate of how the amount of tax and nics they pay has actually changed since the conservatives entered government.
