Conservative manifesto expected to announce cut in national insurance and measures to help people buy homes
Good morning. Rishi Sunak is publishing the Conservative party’s manifesto later, and there is some reasonably positive coverage in some of the right-leaning papers this morning. The Express is splashing on Sunak’s plan for a further 2p cut in national insurance. And the Daily Telegraph and the Times are splashing on stories that say tax cuts will be combined with measures to help people buy homes.
In their Times story, Steven Swinford and Oliver Wright say: Sunak will also unveil a new package of support to help people get onto the housing ladder after admitting that it has become harder to buy a home under the Tories. A £1 billion scheme would help first-time buyers with government-backed mortgages to allow them to buy a home with just a 5 per cent deposit.
