Why Hunt’s cuts to national insurance might not boost the Tories
Jeremy Hunt is expected to cut national insurance by 2% in his budget tomorrow but I wonder if that is enough to swing things round for the Tories without extra support for the public services.
This budget doesn’t seem to indicate a May election, as the cut will only really be seen in one payslip before a May election.
But soaking the hard working higher rate taxpayers seems to be popular. The politics of envy sadly appears to be popular.
