    Shadow chancellor Jeremy Hunt says Reeves is “shameless” in paving the way for tax rises - and October’s Budget will be a “biggest betrayal in history by a new chancellor”

    What an absolute clown. Spent his entire time cutting taxes for the rich, and pissing on everyone else.

    How much did you personally profit from being chancellor, Jeremy? The country sees through your bullshit

    He claims Labour has announced spending commitments worth £24bn since taking power on things like energy, its National Wealth Fund and on public sector pay. “She’s leaving tax payers to pick up the tab,” he says.

    No shit 🤡🤡🤡

      It just shows the different mindset between Labour and the Conservatives. Labour sees taxes as a necessary thing in order to fund necessary public works. Meanwhile the Conservatives see taxes as a method to remove money from the most deserving in society (them) and spending it on the most undeserving (everyone else).
