Possibly, although as I have noted elsewhere (possibly on this forum as well, but I cannot be bothered to look), thanks largely to the "news" media's determination to spend their time attacking Jeremy Corbyn or Theresa May rather than actually, you know, giving us the news, I've had difficulty finding out exactly what Tim Farron (or any other Lib Dem) has said about anything beyond homosexuality.
That said, if he actually said "1 p in the pound" (which is how they often describe the tax right), it's entirely possible the media just left off the "in the pound" bit. Of course, it's possible he did that as well.
