After Boris Johnson was reported to be “upset” by policy, the prime minister and the prime minister doubled with a controversial planned tax increase to increase health funding.
The prime minister has abolished or at least postponed the increase in national insurance from some Conservative lawmakers as he awaits police investigations into Whitehall’s findings and the blockade ruin party’s allegations on Downing Street. There is pressure to regain support.
However, Johnson, along with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, has pledged to work on Covid’s untreated NHS and push forward with a 1.25 percentage point increase aimed at reforming social care.
The pair, written in The Sunday Times, argued that it was right to follow a “progressive” policy.
“We need to clear Covid’s backlog with a health and social care plan, and now is the time to stick to that plan. We have to push forward with health and care levies. Hmm. That’s the right plan, “they said.
You need to clear Covid’s backlog in your health and social care plan. And now is the time to stick to that plan.

“It’s progressive in the sense that it puts the most strain on those who can afford it.
“Of its £ 39 billion, every penny will reach these key goals: 9 million checks, scans, operations, 50,000 nurses, and even improved social care. It is included.”
Both Johnson and Snack said they were “tax-reducing conservatives,” but “there is no magical money tree.”
“We passionately believe that people are the best judges on how to spend their money,” they said.
“We want to go through this Covid-led phase and move on to the agenda of taking advantage of the new post-Brexit freedoms to transform the UK into an enterprise center in Europe and the world.

“We want lighter, better, and simpler regulation, especially in the new technology that the UK is good at. We are also thatcherite in the sense that we believe in healthy money. There is no magical money tree. “
In April, National Health Insurance is expected to rise 1.25 percentage points for workers and employers.
From 2023, it will return to its current rate, with a 1.25% health and social care levy and funding to improve care services.
Political opposition to this change comes from all sides of the Commons, as parliamentarians fear the impact of pressure on living expenses on household growth.
After the coronavirus pandemic, inflation is at its highest level in 30 years and energy price caps rise in the spring, which could increase billing by 50%.
