So the Tories made a £8.7bn loss on Covid PPE (https://twitter.com/Peston/status/1488494435679838209?s=20&t=BY63O9CQ5gb2y2nl0sxWcA) (read: £8.7bn funnelled into the pockets of their mates/siblings/spouses) and Sunak, soon to be The Least Popular Tory, has simply hand-waved away £4.3bn of fraud from the Covid payment schemes (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/treasury-writes-off-4-3bn-in-covid-payments-lost-to-fraud-dfkxt5fr7). Total: £12bn
Fortuitously, the 10% increase in NI is projected to raise: £12bn! How convenient. With the Brucey Bonus that increasing NI has a much more significant effect on those earning £50k or less.
Shall we call this NI increase the Corruption Tax as it nicely covers the money spaffed away by the Tories, for the Tories?
