Use the £30 billion National Insurance surplus on the National Health Service.
George Osborne is sitting on a NI surplus of £30Bn whilst the NHS is underfunded and faces more cuts. House of Lords Library figures show the government spent £106Bn from NI contributions, of which the NHS only got £21Bn. Instead of cutting this vital service, use the money we have paid to save it.
The NHS is a vital service. The government has more than £30 billion of our National Insurance contributions just sitting around not being used for its intended purposes, i.e. to fund the NHS/social welfare.
George Osborne meanwhile is cutting our National Health Service over and over again in an attempt to undermine its usefulness so he can later justify privatisation.
Let's put a stop to this now and use these NI contributions!
