The experienced former Cabinet minister has denounced the idea of ramping up Government borrowing to pay for tax cuts
has broken his silence in spectacular form with a string of bombshell interventions attacking the Government’s tax cuts and threatening to lead a backbench revolt.
He suggested he would vote against the Budget – normally considered a declaration of no confidence in the Government as a whole – if Ms Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng did not perform a U-turn. “It is still the case that there is an inadequate realisation at the top of Government about the scale of change required,” he said.
And at a separate meeting organised by the Onward think-tank, he suggested that the new Prime Minister was at risk of losing the voting coalition put together by Mr Johnson at the last general election. He told activists: “2019 wasn’t just a triumph for Boris, it was about social and economic changes that people in Government need to understand if they’re going to govern the country well.”
