Re: Rising cost of living

It’s almost as if there’s a common enemy further up the line…

Zahawi raises an interesting point - they oppose adjusting the price cap because people who could afford it would also benefit.

Now if someone could devise a system where those who could least afford it pay least, those would could afford it pay a bit more. You could set thresholds and percentages to pay around salary levels or household income levels, ensuring the worst off aren’t hardest hit but “middle earners” also benefit.
