Bad news whichever way it went
Have you got a link to the actual article?
As I've said before, I'm an out and out Tory but I am no fan of Liz Truss. I've also stated (I think) that's intellectually hollow and has a reputation for being impulsive. All that notwithstanding, I do not believe for one nano-second that she's that dull to say something so crassly stupid.
Post the link so I can read it for myself, or is it some BS from another party where she's been misquoted?
There you go again, looking for facts.
Damn. I'll never learn
Boris is gone and a reputable political journalist has stated that Carrie has filed for divorce?
Presumably the ‘reputable political journalist’ is someone on here.
There are an awful lot to choose from.
On a positive note experts reckon Liz will be the best PM since Boris.
Think this is what you were asking for Pow-Lo

Ok, so to add a little bit of perspective, the cut in National Insurance is "...only one part of a wider package." Also, "In this specific case, the NI rise also broke a manifesto pledge, which is another reason she judges it as "fair" to reverse it." Whilst I understand why this pisses some people off, the increase in National Insurance was against the Tory election manifesto. so it seems only fair to me that it's cut back to what it was. I also understand that those who earn more will benefit the most but considering NI should never have been increased in the first place, all it serves to do is return to the status quo.
Must admit, when it was announced that NI would be increased, I don't recall those on lower incomes screaming from the roof tops how unfair it was.
Interestingly, back in July, the government raised the threshold on payments meaning employees can now earn £12,570 a year before paying National Insurance, up from £9,880 a year previously. Therefore, this on very low wages could earn more without paying NI.
No doubt I'll get in trouble for daring to state facts, but someone has to.

But that was not Truss !
I know, it was the then Chancellor. She's reversing it because, at the risk of repeating myself, just for a change, like, it was contrary to their election manifesto. It might be interpreted as she didn't agree with it in the first place.
