Rishi Sunak WON'T bring back a National Insurance hike in the immediate future, Number 10 has confirmed.
The Prime Minister's immediate predecessor, Liz Truss, this month scrapped his 1.25% increase, which was brought in to help the NHS and social care recover from the Covid crisis.
There had been speculation that Mr Sunak could revert to his original plan after Ms Truss was booted out of office following a Tory rebellion.
