For immediate release
Responding to prime minister Sir Keir Starmer’s speech at Labour Party conference, John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
"The prime minister boasted of his vision for a ‘Britain built for all’, but what about pub owners shutting their doors, family farms, businesses on the brink of bankruptcy, or young people facing unemployment?
"It is clear that the government has nothing to offer taxpayers and sees them as merely cash cows to feed an ever more gluttonous public sector, with more punishment set to follow in November's Budget.
"If the government is serious about so-called national renewal, it should be giving working families and hard-pressed small businesses a break by getting spending under control and cutting taxes."
