Original Note:
There has been no “unfunded promise” to scrap NICs contributions. Tories announced a “long term ambition” to reduce the tax “over time” only when it is affordable and fiscal conditions allow (ie never unfunded). The Chancellor admitted this may take over a decade. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-68559270 https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/mar/13/jeremy-hunt-plan-to-scrap-employee-national-insurance-long-term-ambition https://news.sky.com/story/abolishing-national-insurance-could-take-several-parliaments-minister-admits-13089734
