National Insurance rise will be reversed from 6 November, UK chancellor confirms ahead of Friday's mini-budget bbc.in/3ByP1FD
@BBCBreaking Our economy is like a tree. If you want growth everything needs to grow freely and unrestricted. Roots trunk, branches and leaves, irrespective of which part benefits the most!
@BBCBreaking Would be far better if they cut VAT on heating and food . Since petrol and gas etc have doubled in price VAT could be halved on these essentials
@BBCBreaking Aren’t they supposed to tell Parliament first? @LindsayHoyle_MP
@BBCBreaking Government trickery. Raise costs, then reverse it and call it “savings”. Will the Kings inheritance tax cover the gap?
@BBCBreaking Great news - the so called cost of living crisis will be over by Christmas and we can all look forward to next years cost of living crisis Summer holidays!
@BBCBreaking Can’t wait to put the savings of this alongside what I saved on my new kettle. Oh wait, the base rate has increased… 🤔
@BBCBreaking Hang on. It’s not actually going down, just staying the same right? So no actual saving
@BBCBreaking So how will we pay for social care now then?
@BBCBreaking @BBCNews The last govt increased NI by 1.25 percentage points, in excess of 10% not, as you quote 1.25% This change will make no difference to pensioners or the low paid, it will, however be of some benefit to the wealthy.
