Original Note:
Rachel Reeves did, in fact, raise National Insurance. Her rise will affect working people who are employers (such as café owners). It will also affect employees - the OBR estimates that 76% of the total cost is “passed through real lower wages”. p54: https://obr.uk/docs/dlm_uploads/OBR_Economic_and_fiscal_outlook_Oct_2024.pdf
