David Ward and Nick Clegg want to introduce fair taxes
Labour MP's have been criticised for voting against help for those who lost out when Gordon Brown abolished the 10p tax rate.
Campaigners had hoped that enough Labour MP's would support a Commons amendment to compensate those who were affected. But too many Labour MP's lined up to support the Government and defeat the plans.
David Ward said, "We have a disproportionate number of people on low incomes who have been really hurt by this decision."
"This is a bitter blow for campaigners who have been arguing for fairness in our tax system."
The Liberal Democrats want to raise the income tax threshold to ₤10,000, giving an average of ₤700 back to people on low and middle incomes.
