For immediate release
Responding to the emergency statement by the new chancellor, John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“The light at the end of the economic tunnel has now been extinguished by this chancellor.
“Millions of hard-hit households who were desperate for an income tax cut are now facing many more months of financial misery.
“To get a grip on this crisis, the government needs to lay out a serious plan for necessary spending reductions, including means-testing energy support measures.”
