Just be grateful it wasn't chaos with Ed Miliband.

Strong and stable it’s easy to forget how much nonsense they’ve spouted since the Cameron days.

Tory manifesto promise broken again.

BREAKING Triple lock on pensions has been SCRAPPED for 2022/23

It means pensions will NOT rise by 8% next April. Instead will rise by inflation (or 2.5%).

Therese Coffey says it's to stop pensioners "unfairly benefiting from a statistical anomaly".

Is only for one year

An age group that have overwhelmingly voted Tory despite seeing the poor shafted, small business owners shafted, the young shafted, our friends in the UK originally from the EU shafted, industries shafted, minorities shafted, the majority of us shafted now surprised that it’s their turn to feel it,

Forgive me if my sympathy levels are at absolutely zero for anyone who voted for this lot.

I like to think I've developed a modicum of forgiveness and compassion in my old age but Tory voters can stew in the cesspit of their own making.

I don’t understand what DCs motivation is. He’s just careering about social media like a wrecking ball attacking the men and women he put in power, oblivious to the fact he’s much more unpopular than they are.

He is right but what a total ****bag. He is part of the machine that creates the spin that convinces the desperate and hard of thinking working person to vote Tory. He needs to look in the mirror and start to see he and his type are at least as big a problem as the Tories as they enable them.

Agreed, he even admitted it was all spin... the £350 on the bus was an example he used... made up and not easily challenged at the time, and when it could be it was too late and after the the fact

They lie, admit they lied yet people go on believing them. Maybe it's because it's British lies -not like the Communist lies you would have to swallow if what's his name had been elected.

I support the idea of free social care for all the elderly who need it in the UK. It should be fully incorporated into the NHS, which means minimal private care homes. We all pay in, as we do for hospitals, and then residential care is free at the point of use for those who need it. That means everyone pays in throughout their working lives; however, once again the Tories put the cost into the laps of lower paid workers, increasing NI contributions from 12 per cent to 13.25 on earnings below fifty thousand. However, above that amount the increase is from just 2 to 3 per cent. REMOVE THE CAP at 50,000; indeed, like income tax, make NI rates higher the more one earns. This would create a massive boost for the NHS, social care and pensions.

I think we should just scrap NI altogether, roll it into income tax and be done with it. Regressive and confusing.

I see Johnson is planning to increase National Insurance across the whole of the UK, to help fund things like Social Care.... in England.

If you need this money, why not just be honest and increase the upper tax rate by one per cent, as has been done in Scotland?

£1.1 billion of the expected £12 billion raised will be given to the Scottish government. That's almost double the £660 million which (according to the Scottish government) it will cost to establish a new national care service in Scotland. Hard to see how that can be regarded as bad news.

It’s bad news for people on lower wages who are disproportionately shouldering the burden of paying this tax?

" ****, some people have noticed what we're doing there. How did that happen? I know, let's make up a story about two blondes in government having a personality clash and let it be known to Kuenssberg and Peston. That'll take their minds off the NI scam."

There are only *three* Tory seats where home ownership is below 50%.

This is one reason why the government is taxing work, not wealth. https://newstatesman.com/politics/ec...home-ownership

Hard to see??

More money to be paid out by those who can least afford it whilst the affluent are untouched or get a better deal. It'd be hard to find a more Tory-esque policy.

It takes all types.

My guess is some pensioners will lap it up. For the life of me, I can't understand why labour voters are doing so though.

Because some former Labour voters are lapping up the thought of boats of refugees being turned back in the channel.

How much of the 1.1 billion will be raised in Scotland?

But wouldn't it have been a better idea just to tax the well off instead, and not disproportionately take money from those that are already struggling?

As I already said, I personally think they should have raised the current 40% tax rate, as they've done in Scotland. I'm one of the lucky people that now pays 41% and I personally have no problem with that, as it's surely the fairest solution.
