10:45 pm
wrong way to do it. we know we have to pay more tax pose covid and we know we need to spend more money on social care. what you don't do is put a tax on jobs at a time when you especially need to them and i think especially need to them and i think especiallyjeremy hunt's idea of having a special health and care tax is probably the best way forward. i am not normally in favour of this because some people will be happy to pay for a subsidy for cat terms but not nuclear submarines. in this case, especially after the crisis we have just been through, there is a case for height by vacating and not doing it through national insurance. it feels like it is already down the track. is there any chance of it being reversed? i track. is there any chance of it being reversed?— track. is there any chance of it being reversed? i don't suppose so if this is what — being reversed? i don't suppose so if this is what he _ being reversed? i don't suppose so if this is what he wants _ being reversed? i don't suppose so if this is what he wants to - being reversed? i don't suppose so if this is what he wants to do. -
