For immediate release
Responding to the shadow chancellor’s speech to the Labour Party conference, John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“It’s refreshing to hear the shadow chancellor take a stand on cavalier government spending splurges.
“Endless treasury schemes and failed PPE contracts have cost hard-pressed taxpayers billions, but alternative expenditure is not the answer. We simply cannot spend our way back to fiscal normality.
“The best way to recover jobs, retrain workers and rebuild business is to reduce taxes and regulation to get the economy growing once again.”
