There is an apparent concession by the government that it will be ringfenced for social care. But we all know that anything they say isn't worth a bean. Presumably they will just reduce the un-ringfenced part of the department budget to compensate...
NI is an absolutely shit tax
^ also this all day.
Can't believe this fucking NI increase is going ahead. I can only conclude that it's because the misinformed general public doesn't realise a) how regressive it is and b) that it doesn't go into some special pot that pays for the NHS and pensions. Fuck off Boris you bellend.
(Before I get attacked I'm happy to pay more (though I'm not exactly a high earner) but NI is an absolutely shit tax)
