The Chancellor announced his Budget today, commenting on this Louise Haigh MP for Sheffield Heeley said:

“This Budget was an opportunity for the government to show that they are really standing up for the British people and backing them to fulfil their potential. Instead, what they continued to do was paper over the cracks of 13 years of failure.

“I think people will be shocked that there was nothing in the Budget to tackle NHS waiting lists, to tackle the housing crisis or the rising levels of crime. And instead, they gave a massive tax cut to the richest 1% in society. It will astonish people across Sheffield that they’ve resorted to Liz Truss- style policies when people are struggling so badly.

“Where the government are failing and have thrown in the towel, a Labour government will back Britain and our communities.”
