Scrap the 2% increase in NICs for the self employed
Self employed people do not enjoy the luxuries of sick pay, maternity pay or holiday pay. Sometimes we don't know where next week's wage will come from. Increasing our NICs will only make things harder in these already difficult times. Scrap the 2% increase and find your £145m elsewhere.
