Anneliese Dodds – 2020 Comments on Government Tax Rises
The comments made by Anneliese Dodds, the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, on 15 September 2020.
The Chancellor was asked a simple yes or no question about whether he would rule out announcing new tax rises this year – and he failed to answer it.
It only fuels speculation that he wants to hike taxes now just so he can cut them before the next election. He’s playing politics with people’s jobs and livelihoods.
The Chancellor should be focused relentlessly on protecting jobs, not floating a tax and cuts agenda that could choke off our national recovery just when the economy is at its weakest.
