'Scrooge' Sunak could spoil the party for Boris Johnson

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Next, Sunak will force Johnson to become marketing supremo for a new tax to fund social care.
53% : Most of the funding is likely to come from an extra penny on income tax.
47% : To swerve around Johnson's pledge not to raise any of the big three taxes in this parliament - income tax, national insurance and VAT - it will be called a levy.
39% : This criticism hit home when it was pointed out that pensioners avoid paying national insurance at all, and that although better-off workers pay 12% national insurance, like everyone else, on earnings between £9,568 and £50,270, they only pay 2% on income above this threshold.
