Last year, the government cut your National Insurance from 12% to 10%. This week the Chancellor announced we are your National Insurance again from 10% to 8%. That’s a £900 tax cut for people on average salaries. Our economy has gone through big shocks as a result of the pandemic and the Ukraine war. But we have a plan for recovery and the economy is turning a corner. Inflation is more than halved. Spending is under control. So that’s why we can afford to cut taxes for hardworking families. This is good for jobs, good for the economy — and ensures that work always pays. If we stick to the plan we will deliver the high wage high growth economy that we want to see. See my speech during the Budget debate where I talk about all this as well as the need to build new homes and invest in special educational needs. I also talk about the lessons that need to be learned from the failure of Purfleet Centre Regeneration.
