Boris Johnson latest news: PM and Rishi Sunak pledge up to £6bn tax cut amid cost of living crisis

Russian state TV presenter says Boris Johnson is ‘chubby’

Prime minister Boris Johnson and chancellor Rishi Sunak have pledged what they are calling “the single biggest tax cut in a decade” up to £6bn to tackle the cost of living crisis.

Writing a rare joint article for The Sun, the prime minister and the chancellor said when the National Insurance threshold rises overnight this coming Wednesday from £9,880 to £12,570 it will save 30 million British workers up to £330 a year.

They added that the historic tax cut will amount to £6bn in value and lift 2.2 million people out of paying “any ­National Insurance or income tax on their earnings at all”, with “around 70 per cent of British workers” paying less National Insurance.

The move comes after Mr Johnson’s denial that his government is being “complacent” about spiralling inflation and said the “cost of freedom” is “always worth paying” amid soaring costs further exacerbated by the Ukraine war.

Meanwhile, the prime minister is facing growing calls to set out what he knew about allegations of inappropriate behaviour centring on Chris Pincher before appointing him to the Tory whips’ office.

Tory men do not have particular problem with sexual harassment, says cabinet minister

Male Conservatives do not have a particular problem with sexual harassment, cabinet minister Therese Coffey said in the wake of the latest misconduct scandal engulfing the party.

Tory MP Chris Pincher, who quit as deputy chief whip and was suspended by his party over allegations he groped two men in Westminster this week, is facing six further claims of inappropriate behaviour.

Ms Coffey defended prime minister Boris Johnson and denied the Tories had a particular problem, despite being reminded that five Tory male MPs have been suspended or had to resign in the past year over sexual misconduct allegations.

PM called upon to explain what he knew about Chris Pincher allegations

Prime minister Boris Johnson is facing growing calls to set out what he knew about allegations of inappropriate behaviour centring on Chris Pincher before appointing him to the Tory whips’ office.

The prime minister is alleged to have referred to the MP as “Pincher by name, pincher by nature” before making him deputy chief whip in February.

The MP for Tamworth in Staffordshire resigned from the role after being accused of drunkenly groping two men in a private members’ club in London.

It was the second time he resigned from the whips’ office after Conservative candidate Alex Story accused him of making an inappropriate advance in 2017.

PM and Sunak pledge ‘single biggest tax cut in a decade’

Prime minister Boris Johnson and chancellor Rishi Sunak have penned a joint article to outline what they are calling “the single biggest tax cut in a decade” in a show of unity on the cost-of-living crisis.

Writing in The Sun on Sunday, the prime minister and chancellor said when the National Insurance threshold rises overnight this coming Wednesday from £9,880 to £12,570 it will save 30 million British workers up to £330 a year.

They added that the historic tax cut will amount to £6 billion in value and lift 2.2 million people out of paying “any National Insurance or income tax on their earnings at all”, with “around 70 per cent of British workers” paying less National Insurance.

Mr Johnson said there is a “big chance” to fix unnecessary cost pressures for people and businesses across the UK.
