Voters in Wyre Forest will make up their own minds about this. However, please consider Labour's programme for economic growth by which jobs will be created and also that Public Services - Health, Education,Police, Fire etc, will be defended. The Tories have not been clear about where compensating savings will be made to their budget, if they do not implement the NI increase.
Consider also, that if you are earning £20,000 or less, as many people do in Wyre Forest, then with Labour's plan, you will pay slightly less National Insurance.
So it's economic growth and job protection with Labour or uncertainty and job cuts with the Tories.
Already, one leading businessman from the TV programme "Dragon's Den" who originally signed the Tories list opposing the NI increase has changed his mind for sound economic reasons and now supports Labour's increase. At least he changed his mind before 6th May!
