Suicide mission: Labour likens Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak to THELMA AND LOUISE 'driving off the cliff' with National Insurance rise for millions




The Prime Minister and Chancellor were likened to the tragic female road movie characters - who drove fatally into the Grand Canyon to avoid police - as ministers faced demands for a U-turn. Labour's Pat McFadden, who made the remark, accused the PM of bringing in the increase to allow him to cynically cut taxes before the next election. At the same session in the Commons, the Government was told to 'do something' about increased energy costs, a Conservative former minister has urged. At Treasury questions, former work and pensions secretary Stephen Crabb highlighted the predicted cost of living crisis facing families in the spring when the NI hike comes in at the same time as gas costs amid rising inflation. The 1.25 percentage point National Insurance increase is expected to raise £12 billion a year for health and social care services, but breaks Boris Johnson's 2019 election manifesto commitment not to raise taxes.
