National insurance

how’s everyone feeling about this?

Quite miffed as I just got a small pay rise and now I think this plus the upcoming not rises in utilities and inflation will pretty much cancel it out.

This country is fucked lol

Having lived in the states and seen the horrors of privatised healthcare first hand, I don’t mind paying a bit more NI if it means everyone can have better access.

My beef isn’t with the NHS, it’s the way the government responsible for putting it in the position it’s in now have chosen to implement this funding in particular.

It hurts people with less (including carers and NHS staff) much more.

You’re probably on quite a bit more money than I am, so this will have less of a dent on your living costs. It’s easier to be magnanimous about it.

It’s about £20 a month if you earn 29k.

Usually happy to pay taxes but this one hits different considering we’re helping pay back the money the tories pissed up the wall.

I'm annoyed. As an industry we don't get enough raises anyway to accommodate inflation so each year we are consistently losing money, (unless you get promoted) and this just adds to it.

I wish VAT went up instead.

16 weeks and so worried all of the stress I’m under is going to hurt the baby.

Today I spent almost the entire day crying and now have to make up the billable time this weekend. I really worry abt what effect this will have on the babe.
