No 10 denies PM is ‘wobbling’ on issue of manifesto-breaking 1.25% increase in NI contributions due in April
Downing Street has insisted Boris Johnson is “fully committed” to introducing a controversial national insurance rise in the spring, despite reports that he is “wobbling” on the issue.
The manifesto-breaking rise of 1.25% in national insurance contributions (NICs) was presented by Johnson as a way of tackling the NHS backlog and reforming social care.
