The Taxman Cometh
Parliament only returned on Monday, but is Boris Johnson already in trouble after his rise in National Insurance threatens to hit the working age young hardest? Conservative commentator Tim Montgomerie joins us to look at the Prime Minister’s internal party problems, and ask if his social care plans add up.
Plus, the Autumn Budget takes place next month, but with Government spending rising, does Rishi Sunak face a difficult few weeks of saying “no”? And has COVID provided a cover for the Government to evade scrutiny? Alice Lilley explains a new IFG report.
“It’s been a very bad week to be a Conservative. There will be a political backlash” - Tim Montgomerie
“The Government has lost control of spending, and I don’t see a strategy from them to be fiscally responsible” - Tim Montgomerie
“The promise not to raise taxes was always going to be hard to keep. Coronavirus has made that even more difficult” - Gemma Tetlow
“The Government might have the votes in the Commons, but it’s losing the support of the Parliamentary party” - Tim Montgomerie
“The Conservative party is going through an identity crisis. It’s becoming the party for the older voter” - Tim Montgomerie
Presented by Bronwen Maddox with Alice Lilley, Gemma Tetlow and Graham Atkins. Audio production by Alex Rees. Inside Briefing is a Podmasters Production for the IfG
