TalkTV | “Just Call Them ‘Lie-Bour’” | Rachel Reeves' Tax Hike HYPOCRISY @talktv | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Rachel Reeves has been accused of hypocrisy for reportedly planning to increase employer National Insurance (NI) contributions, despite previously admitting it would hurt workers' pay. As Chancellor, she is expected to raise NI for employers as part of a £40 billion package in the upcoming Budget.
Two years ago, while serving as shadow Chancellor, Reeves criticised a similar move by then-Chancellor Rishi Sunak, calling it “the worst possible tax rise” and warning it would reduce workers' wages.
Reeves' current plan appears to contradict Labour’s previous pledge not to raise taxes on working people.
Mike Graham and journalist Emma Woolfe discuss.
