NICs: Prime Minister is still peddling this deception

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the changes to National Insurance (NI) and freezing of income tax thresholds coming into force tomorrow, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson, Sarah Olney MP said:

"The Prime Minister is still peddling this deception and voters will see straight through it.

"Hammering the public with unfair stealth taxes and then claiming people will be taking home more in their pay packets is frankly offensive.

"This is an out of touch Prime Minister leading a directionless Conservative government with his party more interested in clinging on to power than ensuring people are better off. They do not deserve to be in power for a moment longer."
