Chancellor wrong to go after the cash strapped self-employed
Responding to the news that the Conservative Government is scrapping its pledge to abolish Class 2 National Insurance, hitting millions of workers by £150, Liberal Democrats Health Spokesperson Judith Jolly said "The Chancellor is wrong to go after the cash strapped self-employed. It is a desperate attempt to pinch pennies for the NHS. Instead, the Government needs a long-term funding plan. The Liberal Democrats are the only party with a serious plan for the NHS. We would raise money immediately by putting a penny in the pound on income tax, and guarantee its long-term funding through a new dedicated health and care tax."

People who have never switched will save just £75 a year, a far cry from the £300 they could save by switching to a new provider. We need to make sure that this price cap doesn't lull people into a false sense of security - Ofgem capping prices doesn't mean they're capped at a good rate."
