I was on LBC this morning, as a follow-on to my article for the Telegraph yesterday. I talked with Nick Ferrari about the Boris tax and how it is no answer to the (very real) problem of social care. The proposed NI hike will not only hit the wrong people at the wrong time, but it isn’t even a solution, just extra money with no detail of how to spend it. There are better and fairer answers. (Frankly, just raising income tax would be fairer than the NI hike.) One interesting attempt was Damian Green’s paper in 2019, which recommended a state pension-type model.
