Conservative — Broadland and Fakenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 December 2025

Debate

Office for Budget Responsibility Forecasts

Contribution

It has been dragged out of the Government that there was no black hole of £20 billion to £30 billion in the run-up to the Budget. In fact, there was a surplus. That means that Treasury insiders were deliberately misleading the press, the markets and our constituents in the run-up to the Budget, when they intended all along to raise taxes on working people to fund increased welfare. Why is the Minister continuing to take the public—our constituents—for fools?
