They want tax cuts... for the rich. National insurance is regressive and the rises avoid having to increase taxes on the rich. The "windfall tax" isn't as straightforward as that - Sunak announced at the same time that companies investing in new fossil fuel production will receive a tax break of up to 90% of the windfall tax.

NI is regressive, sure, but employers need to pay it too, so a raise in NI is still a tax rise for the rich. It's not as big a rise on the rich as a rise in an actual progressive tax, but a rise is still a rise and lots of tories are ideologically opposed to any rise in tax when the alternative is to cut spending. And a windfall tax that's 90% offset by other tax breaks is still a windfall tax on a net 10% of the announced amount. They clearly didn't want to do the windfall tax in the first place, they spent weeks briefing on why it was a bad idea, so it's clear the windfall tax was a case of them facing some outside pressure they felt they had to bow to, and then searching for a way to work around that pressure in the form of the offset.

The backbenchers are going to be able to push back against that sort of thing harder now. They don't want fig-leaf taxes and rises in national insurance, they want tax cuts and for spending to be slashed, much harder and much faster than the present government cares to do. We should expect to see more cuts in both tax and spending over the next few years as a result of this, and if the government does try raising taxes for any reason, expect a rebellion.

That "decorum" and "reading the room" and "manners" and "doing the expected thing" and "polls" and other things that together with some chewing gum and bits of string is the equivalent of a UK constitution doesn't really hold up when you're dealing with a narcissistic loaf who's only in it to be #1 as long as physically possible.

Or as it was put before: when the men in grey suits hand Boris the symbolic glass of whiskey and a loaded gun, Boris will down the drink and shoot the messenger.

Any other leader would step aside when more than half the population openly hate you and your own party is actively trying to get rid of you. But Boris will go "nevertheless" no matter how much the world burns around him.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.
