LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer said today that the Budget was the “last desperate act of a party that has failed” showing that the Tories were “completely unable to generate the growth working people need.”

Momentum however warned that “effectively skewering” the government’s failures without offering the popular calls for wealth taxes and investing in public services will backfire on Labour.

Momentum co-chair Kate Dove said Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s National Insurance cut will benefit the richest but following the Tories’ tightening of non-dom rules, “the gap between the two main parties is smaller than ever.”
