Reform UK has blasted Sir Keir Starmer after it emerged he plans to blame Nigel Farage and Brexit for tax hikes in Labour’s upcoming Budget. The Prime Minister and Chancellor Rachel Reeves are expected to link a drop in Britain’s productivity to the EU exit.
But Reform deputy leader Richard Tice said: “First Keir blamed the Tories, now he is blaming Nigel, reaffirming his brand of ‘two-tier Keir’. Third time lucky, he should send Rachel back to the complaints department. Hypocrite-in-chief Keir is running out of people to blame after over a year in office. Voters know he is to blame.”
It comes as Ms Reeves is widely expected to unveil more punishing tax hikes at her Budget next month.
