During the Budget debate, UK politicians criticized the lack of investment in local government and public services under the Tories. They highlighted issues like homelessness, taxes, NHS waiting lists, and deteriorating public institutions, attributing them to 14 years of Conservative and Coalition economic mismanagement. The Budget was described as a reflection of long-term decline and a continuation of failures in housing, school funding, and healthcare services.
The Government's latest budget has nothing to say about the crises it has fostered in housing, school funding and healthcare services in Stockport. For my constituents, this budget is simply a continuation of 14 years of failure and decline. My speech in the Commons 👇🏾 https://t.co/l3a9qgK5Z0
📺 Watch this clip from my speech scrutinising the Government's failed budget. The Conservatives' inability to grow the economy has resulted in the biggest tax burden on working people since 1949. It’s time for change. https://t.co/1f6XXd3fX6
Classrooms are falling apart, NHS waiting lists are record-breaking and our public institutions are on their knees. This is the result of 14 years of uninterrupted Conservative and Coalition Economic mismanagement. My speech on #Budget2024 👇🏻 1/2 https://t.co/96ikXPyCvM
Today I reminded Govt of the impacts their failed policies have on our Newham communities - homelessness, taxes, inflation, degraded public services. The Budget delivers no real solutions - only the hope it could be the last act of 14 years of Tory failure, division and decline. https://t.co/BGK7r4GCEo
In today’s Budget debate, I focused on the lack of investment in local government and across our wider public services. We were promised a “Budget for long-term growth” – we actually received a Budget that reflects long-term decline under the Tories. https://t.co/6EQ9FlSkKE
Last week’s Budget lifted the lid on fourteen years of Tory economic failure. 📈 Taxes are still rising, prices are still going up in the shops and mortgages are higher. ❌ Nothing Jeremy Hunt said in the Budget changes that. 🗳️ It’s time for change. It’s time for an election.
