People are facing a catastrophic hit to their living standards.

And John, this throw-of-the-dice budget offered nothing to the millions of people left waiting in pain for treatment from the NHS.

The public will see this for what it is: nothing more than a desperate deception that will be wiped out by the soaring cost of living and years of unfair Conservative tax hikes.

People are sick and tired of this government’s chaos and mismanagement.

We need a General Election now.
