One in the eye for Spreadsheet Phil

The PM has been forced to delay the Chancellor’s manifest-busting NI tax rise for the self-employed at least until the autumn following a rebellion in the ranks of her MPs. They’re not happy about the way Spreadsheet Phil (or Spreadshit Phil, as he was dubbed by the BBC’s Labour-lover Pottymouth Robinson) cast aside a clear manifesto pledge with a transparently bogus quibble about the small print.
    Another reason for unhappiness is that the PM described the NI tax change as ‘progressive’ which, as any seasoned watcher of politicians knows, is a code word indicating that there is a swindle on the way.
