For immediate release
Responding to the prime minister’s speech on re-building the economy post pandemic, John O'Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“Boris the Builder is promising to fix it, but jobs and investment won’t come from spending splurges alone.
“The PM’s promises on planning reform and slashing red tape were very welcome, but we need structural change and tax transformation to guarantee jobs and investment, not just spending splurges on pet projects. Racking up future debts from pork barrel politics simply means taxpayer austerity down the line.
“More than ever, the whole country needs damaging taxes slashed and ruinous regulations axed to unleash the dynamic commercial spirit the prime minister called for."
