'Let’s do away with National Insurance and have a flat tax which doesn’t allow governments to try to fool us with tax rises in disguise' | Writes RossjournoClark

Let’s face it: the reason governments have taken to jacking up National Insurance rates while leaving income tax rates alone is that they think the public will be less likely to notice.

Newspaper headlines: 'Tories at war', and Charles aide honour claimsBoris Johnson faces unrest within Conservative ranks over plans to raise national insurance, the papers say. “Tories at war” 🤣 yeah right, they did f* ck all over past 18 month despite the authoritarian BS orchestrated by the Conservatives government . Yes, the vaccination project may have been good but too much baggage with it. 'forced to resign (again)' So did no one over there see that coming? Why add the parenthesis? We all knew after the first time it was going to happen again. From literal miles away we all saw 'got his job back after resigning' as an inevitable failure, right? Not just me? So your Charles is like Jared Kushner then! 🤢

Social care: Plans for reform in England likely this week - sourcesGovernment talks are continuing through the weekend, following reports of a National Insurance hike. With this lot in charge it probably involves involuntary euthanasia (unless you’re rich). Liberals and labour should be working across the house to support a national social care system that is paid for through national insurance contributions.

Social care: What would a National Insurance rise mean for me?The government could raise National Insurance to help pay for social care in England. I wouldn't mind so much if it was ring fenced or something similar, instead of offsetting other expenditure or paying for cronyism. politicslive National Insurance would hit the lower paid. Adjusting Rates would be better. Add in another Band above £60k to £150k, up from 40% to 45% and 50% above £150k. That would not penalise low income families. BorisJohnson RishiSunak For me, in addition to the extra cost, it would mean that Boris Johnson lied yet AGAIN and the BBC have let him get away with it AGAIN. jailjohnson
