The Issue

The Government must scrap its plans to hike National Insurance on ordinary working people from April 2022.

People are already facing huge increases in energy bills, high inflation, real-term wage cuts and cuts to Universal Credit. They cannot afford this Tory tax hike.

The rich should be the ones to pay for any tax increases – not those at the sharp end of a cost-of-living crisis. 

So we call on the Government to replace the proposed National Insurance increase with taxes on the wealth of the richest 1%.
