Dale72 said:2 election pledges gone in 1 day, can this government get any more useless? Yes would be my guess.
Did anyone seriously think things wouldn't need to change after this crazy 18 months?
Most opponents appear to think things don't go far enough.
Presumably you feel they should have kept the triple lock and not raise further funds to help pay for the pandemic?Plan for tomorrow, enjoy today!10 -
My wife is reducing her hours in October to 60% and is retiring a year later. I'm reducing my hours to 70% in April and plan to retire 20 ish months later. The majority of the burden (in my family) of this NI hike will fall on my three young adult daughters early in their careers. I intend to pay them the hike in their NI deductions from my salary / investments for as long as it's applied. We all know how long that will be.....
PS - Apologies, I've just realised that I've posted this in a triple lock thread having just been reading BBC HYS comments about the hike.0 -

This has just illustrated that the pledge BS. Remove low income jobs for a year and suddenly you have a jump in average salaries. This pledge made no sense when it was first introduced under Blair/Brown and hasn’t stopped being nonsensical when repeated at a later date.0
