Reverse the 2p National Insurance cut
At a time when the NHS and other public services are struggling to meet demand, I think the Government’s decision to cut National Insurance contributions by 2p in the pound, having already done this in the 2023 Autumn statement, is irresponsible. We want this decision to be reversed immediately.
I think there is systemic underfunding of the NHS and the care sector which is contributing to poor outcomes for patients and citizens of the UK. I think the consequences are clear to see. In this context, I believe the Chancellor’s decision to cut NI payments by 2p again, having already done this in his 2023 Autumn Statement is simply not in the best interest of the country. We want this decision to be revoked.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
