Barry responded to the Chancellor’s Autumn Budget in the Chamber. In his speech, Barry touched on matters such as:
This Budget is the result of 11 years of austerity and under-investment.
No Government since the war has implemented a higher tax take from the people of this country.
Growth in the next three years will slow to a sluggish 1.3% and our country’s debt stands at the astonishing figure of £2.2 trillion
The growing deficit
The total lack of strategy to tax wealth on unearned income
The failure of the Government to work towards a net zero economy
