ANDREW Neil and the BBC have been fiercely criticised by a historian who was invited to appear on This Week – a TV show he described as “incredibly stupid”. BBC Reality Check has looked at three of his claims.Everyone has a personal allowance, which is an amount they are allowed to earn before they start paying income tax - this year it is £12,500.To be a basic rate taxpayer, they would have to be earning between £12,500 and £50,000 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and between £12,500 and £43,430 in Scotland.That would reduce the couple's tax bill by a maximum of £250 a year.Transferrable marriage allowance was introduced under David Cameron and started from April 2015. Producers of the BBC programme, which is hosted by Neil, invited Rutger Bregman to appear as a panellist on Thursday’s show under the premise of discussing his new book, Utopia for Realists.

Labour plans to remove the transferrable marriage allowance for equality reasons. Mr Corbyn disputed the figures.
