Responding to today's National Insurance Contributions hike, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader and Treasury Spokesperson Daisy Cooper said:

“This National Insurance tax hike will be a hammer blow to businesses already on the brink.

"In the current climate, it threatens to turn our high streets into ghost towns.

"The Government needs to rethink, scrap the jobs tax and raise this money fairly by asking the big banks and digital giants to pay their fair share."
