Social care: Conservatives stand by tax risee as vote passes in Commons

The Conservatives have supported the PM's tax hike proposal as the vote passed through the Commons with a majority.

MPs have backed Boris Johnson's controversial plans to increase national insurance contributions. The plan is the biggest tax rise for decades in order to fund reforms to the NHS and social care.

The government won the vote comfortably with a majority of 71, though five Conservative MPs did vote against it.

[syedbilalnafees]

Boris breaking his promises? Who would have

[T--xbko]

the people should be paying for it it should be Boris Johnson Matt Hancock and Rishi Sunak because they took money from us and put it in their own pocket Boris Johnson spend it on furniture Hancock gave it to his landlord and Rishi Sunak and he spent it on a new spa and ballerina Hall and the rest of them pleasures he spent it on those are the people should be paying it not us. just another tax to make them rich so they can spend it on more luxuries

So this is "levelling up" is it...and people fell for it.

[hayleyannamathieson]

The worst government, certainly in my lifetime. Completely disgraceful.

[trevorstanding]

So much for the Conservative back bench rebellion they don't want to offend their constituency junta for fear they might be deselected. The Labour Party should have put forward anyone on 100, 000 a year or over should pay more tax but as usual they are frightened of their own shadows.

[goburr]

yo. gotta plan, lets try blowing up parliament again. #fawkeswasright

[juliechristie]

Maybe if they stopped paying France stop paying for people coming over in dingys an stop paying for 5 star hotels for them an nhs would have money an the hard workers wouldn’t have to struggle an pay extra can we get a break down of were all are taxes go

[nickalina]

Are people finally waking up to Johnson and his lair of liars?

[steveparker]

To be, or not to be a dictatorship, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of a decade of Tory cuts,
Or to rise up against a corrupt government
or by not opposing them. To die—as sheep...

[MassiveHappyClapper]

Fund the BBC by advertising and scrap the license fee to help out those on and under the breadline. That would relieve pressure on people. People's pay needs to go up, in Britain we are not paid a fit wage.

[Silver-stzq]

Well people did vote them into power 😂 and with an 80 seat majority 🤣

[Vardaris]

Hahaha I thought Brexit would save millions of pounds for the NHS, why are we asked to pay extra, what happened? Who lied?

[paulr]

And the 30, 000 immigrants? Who pays for them?

[soko]

Bojo lies resurfaced, didn't he say we'd be better off with the Brexit deal as we'd save £350M per week in EU contributions, that money would be well spent on our NHS. If he'd fu**king got the pandemic under control then we wouldn't be in this bloody mess.
He definitely needs to GO.

What's pathetic is that Labour has lost its balls, they must be bad not to capitalise on that fool boris's embarrassments and down in out lies... Bad times😶
