Hopeless Hunt

HOUSEHOLDS face a bleak future of falling incomes and higher taxes.

That was the verdict on Jeremy Hunt’s Autumn Statement from respected think tank the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

The damage caused to the economy by this Tory government means workers’ wages could effectively be £15,000 lower by 2027.

At the same time, people will be paying more tax while struggling with costlier food and fuel.

The analysis also shows that, while everyone will be worse off, high earners will be less affected – reflecting twisted Tory values.

And today we reveal that Rishi Sunak has axed daily media appearances by ministers.

Presumably the Government will not defend its record because its record is indefensible.

This is the legacy of the Tories: 12 years that have left the country poorer and weaker.
