The Tory MP for Wokingham warned the UK economy was not recovering rapidly enough due to the increased tax rates and the threat of an interest rate hike by the Bank of England. In a tweet by Mr Redwood, Mr Redwood wrote: Latest figures show that economy is being slowed by higher taxes and threats of interest rate increases.

It is time for government to stop the national insurance hike. More growth is needed to bring the deficit to a low point. We are still not reaching Pre Supervisiv level.

The hike means an individual with an extra year salary will pay 130 to the Treasury each and annually.

Income Tax thresholds have already been frozen until 2026, meaning working people will pay tax on any earnings from a salary above 12,570. More than one million people are estimated to be pushed into the tax bracket due to soaring inflation and wages.

Growth in August was less than forecast, while ONS also downward revised its estimate for July to a contraction of 0.1 percent from the 0.1 percent expansion already reported. Despite the increase in August, the economy remains 0.8 percent smaller than it was before coronavirus pandemic. The disappointing figures were reported after the 1st full month report following the disappointing figures.

On 19 July, coronavirus restrictions were lifted on so-called Freedom Day and February 19 was adopted as the day of freedom in the USA.
