What a trash headline, and we get to see why in the article almost immediately.
>Writing in the Sunday Times, Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak insisted their £12bn National Insurance increase would go ahead, despite opposition.
>Labour, the Lib Dems and some Tory MPs are urging a rethink, arguing workers cannot afford more tax at the moment.
Every single Lib Dem MP can vote against. Every single Labour MP can vote against. Actually in our form of government it’s almost *expected* for them to vote against even if they can agree with it.
The *only* reason it’s even on the table for discussion is
>some Tory MPs are urging a rethink
But now, in the country’s largest broadcaster, we’ve recast tories questioning one of their leaders biggest moves as “Opposition MPs” opposing it.
Absolute trash.
Is a national insurance hike of 1% a significant thing when compared to other things like energy, food bills or the cost for living?
Actually the way it is presented is quite brilliant. 1.25p to a pound sterling for now but becomes a health and social care levy in 2023. Does it mean this levy can go up and maybe down independently of the national insurance? So next time it will be the levy that goes up and not national insurance.
