Boris Johnson appears to have rebuffed calls for a proposed National Insurance hike in April to be scrapped.
Senior Conservatives, including former Brexit secretary David Davis, have called for the proposed increase of 1.25 percentage points to be axed due to cost of living pressures.
But the Prime Minister has suggested he will stick with proposals to increase national insurance in April, arguing that “if you want to fund our fantastic NHS, we have to pay for it”.
