The Tory Crisis in Downing Street

We are a country that funds our promises and pays our debts. This government will take the difficult decisions necessary to ensure there is trust and confidence in our national finances. Every single one of those decisions, whether reductions in spending or increases in tax, will be shaped through core, compassionate, conservative values. And for Labour, the shadow Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, was responding to the Chancellor. As I regularly say now, I welcome the new Chancellor to this place. The fourth in four months of chaos and fiasco as this conservative government spirals down the political plug hole. But the damage has been done. This is a Tory crisis made in Downing Street, but ordinary working people are paying the price.
