Still banging on about National debt, I thought the cost cutting in previous years was supposed to get rid? (Yes, I know it was never going to happen).

The plan was to eliminate the deficit by 2020, which in turn would then allow the debt to be tackled. Brexit derailed that plan.

As an average for the self employed across the entire nation?
Isn't the 'average' wage more than double that?
IF self employed take home half the average wage I don't see how he can justify taxing them more (not that I think they do) just think they are pulling a 60p from their holes.
I doubt that can be accurate.

Low paid self employed workers actually pay less national insurance now because class 2 national insurance has been abolished. It is only well paid self employed people who have to pay the 1% increase on class 4 national insurance.
 
Isn't it weird how the media keeps saying that 'the public' would be happy to pay more tax to fund the NHS, and when it happens there is massive outrage in the media?

Class 2 isn't abolished until 2018 is it?
Anyway, last few tradesmen I've used have insisted on cash, so I doubt the government got much tax from them...
