IFS comment: People are sick and tired of this unfair, irresponsible government
29 Sep 2023
Responding to the IFS's comments that this will be the biggest tax-raising Parliament on record, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson, Sarah Olney MP said:
“This Conservative government crashed the economy and is making the public pay the price. This is the same party which promised not to raise people's taxes and is now taxing families through the nose.
“Despite this, Ministers have given tax cuts to the big banks, failed to close loopholes in the windfall tax on oil and gas giants and wasted eye watering sums on dodgy PPE contracts.
“No amount of empty Conservative promises can undo this damage. People are just sick and tired of this unfair, irresponsible government.”
