Tory ministers will press ahead with planned tax hikes despite the spiralling cost of living crisis, Michael Gove has said.
The Levelling Up Secretary said the Government won't "do away with" the manifesto-busting National Insurance rise that will begin to hit Brits within weeks.
From April 1, workers, employers and the self-employed will all pay 1.25p more in the pound for National Insurance contributions - from 12% to 13.25% - as part of efforts to cut Covid backlogs in the NHS and social care.
