Please sign my petition- Concerns about the Impact of NI Increases on the UK Economy

The recent National Insurance (NI) increases announced in the budget have raised concerns about their potential impact on the UK economy and unemployment rates. As many people have pointed out, businesses may need to reduce staff and increase prices to cover the extra costs, which could disproportionately affect low-income households and exacerbate poverty.

Potential Consequences

Reduced staff: Businesses may be forced to lay off employees to mitigate the increased costs, leading to higher unemployment rates.

Increased prices: Higher prices could reduce consumer spending power, particularly for low-income households, and lead to decreased economic activity.

Widening poverty gap: The poor may get poorer as they struggle to afford basic necessities, while the wealthy may be less affected by the changes.

Taking Action

If you're concerned about the potential impact of the NI increases, you can make your voice heard by signing the petition on the UK Parliament's website: https://lnkd.in/e7GBG3P4.

What the Petition Aims to Achieve

The petition calls on the government to review the NI increases and consider alternative solutions that won't harm the economy or exacerbate poverty. By signing the petition, you can help demonstrate public concern and encourage the government to reassess their decision.

Make Your Voice Heard
If you're concerned about the potential consequences of the NI increases, consider signing the petition and sharing it with others who may be affected. Together, we can encourage the government to review their decision and work towards a more equitable solution.
