You don't get praise for doing something bleeding obvious.

Labour introduced MIRAS. The Tories phased it out before Gordon Brown finished it off. The allowance was £30,000 but it was phased out in the early 90s in £5000 increments IIRC. It was frustrating to see the older generation get to double up his n hers before Lawson ended it with one allowance only per property.

It looks like everyone played around with it before killing it off.

No everyone played with it. Gordon Brown ended it but others from both parties changed it from man and wife joint claiming and changing it to only part of the mortgage.

It looks like a good example of both parties screwing the public and neither of them being interested in helping the public.
