The current Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt has today reversed all the tax measures that were announced three-weeks ago.

Louise Haigh MP for Sheffield Heeley said:

“Today has shown that the Prime Minister Liz Truss has lost total control of her government as they roll back all the tax measures that were announced three-weeks ago.  This is a crisis that has been made in Downing Street and they’re expecting working people to pay the price.

“The changes to the energy help begs the question yet again – why are they not applying a windfall tax to the excess profits of the oil and gas companies to pay for this?

“This is a worrying time for many people and businesses who will be paying more because of the government’s actions.

“Only Labour can provide the leadership and stability the country needs.”
