who is plucking these figures out of the air, that is some leap and in my opinion way too high...but what do I know Im just a lowly taxpayer
£35k seems far more reasonable tbh if it's full household income... it's tough to accurately assess though, as a pensioner on £35k paying private rent has far less money for bills than a penioner living in an owned home with a paid-off mortgage. Any assessment should be fully means-tested not an arbitrary figure.
