The latest Tory National Insurance cut is an insult to many UK citizens – because it prioritises “working people” above everybody else.

Here’s the BBC:

One policy that will be in the Conservatives’ manifesto later today is a further 2p cut in employees’ National Insurance (NI).

NI is a tax on earnings, paid by both employees and the company they work for – it’s currently at 8% for workers, but the Tories pledge would drop this to 6%.

The government has already cut the NI rate for employees twice this year – first taking it from 12% to 10%, and then down to 8%.

The prime minister says his party would help working people “keep more of the money you earn” – but Labour have criticised the party’s ideas as “the most expensive panic attack in history”.

So it’s a policy to help working people.

Economist Richard Murphy has something to say about that:

He’s got a point!

And Sunak is out of touch again.
