The Chancellor called Mr Corbyn “a clear and present danger to our economic prosperity” and added “wicked and cynical” Labour was offering “superficially simple solutions to complex challenges”.

He warned Labour would “inevitably lead us back to where Britain was in the late 1970s” when tax rates reached as high as 98 per cent.

Mr Hammond said: “Let them put their arguments, let them make their case.

“We will take them on. And we will defeat them.”
