Former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng has claimed that Labour will be “booted out” if they don’t deliver economic growth.
The comments come shortly after Rachel Reeves delivered her Autumn Budget this afternoon.
Speaking to GB News, Kwarteng said: “I am profoundly at odds with a lot of what the Labour government are doing.
“I understand the nature of the problem, but the issue, what they’ve done is essentially they’ve they’ve loaded businesses and people who employ other people with huge amounts of taxation.
“They were in a bind because they said they wouldn’t put up taxes for working people, however they defined.
“It’s still unclear to me who they meant by that exactly. And the problem is, and this is where the risk is, if they don’t get growth in the next two years, they will come back in a Budget and ask for more taxes.
“And that will be the point at which I think many people in Britain will say enough is enough, and they have a real political risk here, that they could alienate enough support and actually get booted out. That’s how dangerous it is for them.”
