For immediate release
Responding to borrowing hitting a four-year high, Darwin Friend, head of research of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“The latest borrowing figures put paid to the ludicrous claim that the new government is fixing the foundations.
“The toxic cocktail of tax rises and spending increases that Reeves forced on the country in her disastrous budget has completely derailed the public finances, which were hardly in a healthy state beforehand.
“The chancellor needs to urgently reverse her high tax, high spend agenda with a new fiscal statement.”
