Graham Stuart

Conservative — Beverley and Holderness

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 December 2025

Debate

Conduct of the Chancellor of the Exchequer

Contribution

I think it was Gladstone who said that the first duty of a statesman is to be honest. Is the hon. Gentleman, who I think would be recognised across the House as someone for whom honesty is a natural state, entirely comfortable with the Chancellor cherry-picking the confidential briefing from the OBR in that 4 November speech and not setting out the full circumstances that she was then aware of?
