Labour's Rachel Reeves accused the Tories of "picking the pockets of purses and wallets of the entire country" after Jeremy Hunt delivered his Autumn Statement.
The Shadow Chancellor responded to the Chancellor of Exchequer's speech on Thursday (November 17), which outlined the Rishi Sunak government's economic approach. Mr Hunt said he would “tackle the cost-of-living crisis” and rebuild the country's economy as he explained his plans.
Ms Reeves tore into the Tories' record in government over the past 12 years, which she said has culminated in failing to tackle the cost of living crisis. She described Mr Hunt's plans as being made up of "excuses and unfair choices".
