Whoopy do, big deal....
I don't benefit because I am a pensioner.
My wife doesn't benefit because she doesn't have a wage or pension.
My daughter doesn't benefit because she doesn't earn enough.
Her husband doesn't benefit because he also doesn't earn enough.
My granddaughter doesn't benefit because she is on zero hours .
My mother (aged 91) doesn't benefit.
Unemployed people don't benefit.
Sick people don't benefit.
Students don't benefit.
So... how much money will be passed on to the general public.
How much per week is it worth to the average wage earner.
 
The same NI which was pushed up under Theresa May while trumpeting no tax rises and quietly ushering lots of people into 40% brackets and raking in VAT during years of higher inflation.

How generous they are. When we drive on smooth roads, have children educated in classes overflowing with support staff and can have health procedures carried out at the click of a finger, I can fully understand how Mr Hunt can spare me that extra few quid.
 
They are either sandbagging with these leaks pending a "major tax cut" (income tax) or they are scared the markets will collapse Truss style as most economists are fully aware of the clusterturd that is our nations finances.

Alternatively, they are giving a token tax cut so they can "fund" slashing inheritance tax, which will ultimately benefit them are their mates once they are booted out.
 
Even if you are desperate to keep more of your earnings, and lots are, even middle income earners are really struggling in todays Tory world- If you earn £25k you'll save about £200 a year or £4 a week. If your a top rate earner you'll save £700 a year. So once again the biggest earners are by far the biggest beneficiaries in this NI cut.

Truth is not many of those saving £200 a year or £700 a year will be thankful for this or think that the few quid a week in their pocket is better than pumping £10-£15b into the NHS and public services.
This won't help the tory polling one little bit, indeed it will more likely make it worse.

It was great to see Anthony Vickers twitter post on this go viral with over 20,000 likes and shares.
