The £200 reduction in October is a response to the present cap increase. Having taken these measures today, I think Sunak has made it politically impossible for him not to act again in the event of a further crippling rise in the cap in October. But we will have to wait and see.

If all this does end up being the case this rise I can cover comfortably enough will have to see what happens with the next one. If the CT comes off the initial figure I will not see much of it but if it comes off the final figure I will have to pay next to nothing
