Held them back? The personal allowance was raised by £1,300 for this tax year, or roughly 12% for more contect, with a further increase for those over the age of 65. This is a huge rise, so in what way were they held back? (Genuinely curious)

£700 previous year, £1000 the year before..admittedly an increase of 0 the year before that.
But that's still MUCH more than it was increasing under Labour. With the exception of the 2009 tax year, the biggest personal allowance increase under Labour was around £200.
I really don't like the conservatives, but they undoubtedly have you beat here.

I think the fact that he was dead during that time would do more to impact his memory.
