There was a tense atmosphere in the Commons yesterday when Reeves unveiled the record breaking series of tax hikes that will affect people all across the UK.

The Chancellor announced that there will be an increase in employers' national insurance contributions, set to rise by 1.2 percentage points to 15 per cent from April 2025.

The Government justified the measure as necessary to fund public services and restore economic stability.

Outgoing Tory leader Rishi Sunak blasted the party for the tax hikes, and accused Labour of "fiddling the figures".

He said: "Time and again, we Conservatives warned Labour would tax, borrow and spend far beyond what they were telling the country.

"Time and time again they denied they had such plans, but today the truth has come out.”
