Hunt criticised for issuing ‘dodgy dossier’ claiming Labour’s policies will leave Britain broke

CHANCELLOR Jeremy Hunt has been criticised for issuing a 19-page “dodgy dossier” claiming Labour’s policies will leave a multi-billion-pound “black hole.”

In a bid to portray the Tories as tax-cutters ahead of the general election, he claimed Sir Keir Starmer’s plans would leave a £38.5 billion gap over the next four years.

He however refused to give a “cast-iron guarantee” of tax cuts following his political speech in London, merely insisting the tax burden would go down under a future Conservative government.
