Despite Jeremy Hunt’s tax-cutting Budget, Tories are too late to avert election Armageddon
RISHI Sunak’s plan is working. Inflation is falling fast, energy bills and mortgages are down . . . good times are a-coming.
The PM and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt couldn’t stop beaming yesterday as they pegged the price of booze and fuel, poured cash into the NHS and slashed the NI tax on jobs.
But the “Chuckle Brothers”, as gloating Keir Starmer dubbed them, are too late to avert election Armageddon.
The sheer speed and momentum of the Tory collapse to a humiliating 20 per cent in the polls is beyond the control of any PM.
They can blame “events” like Ukraine and the £400billion for the Covid lockdown so fervently backed by Labour.
But that’s not why voters are deserting in millions. Rishi is paying the price for 14 years of Tory ineptitude and the chaos of five PMs in eight years.
