Vindictive Osborne Punishment Budget Reduces Chance of Becoming PM

The nasty Chancellor wants to punish Britons with £30 billion of tax rises, and already 57 Conservative MPs are commandeering an effort to stave off this punishment at the pass.

They have warned: ‘If he were to proceed with these proposals, the Chancellor’s position would become untenable.’

After a Brexit, there will no doubt be a cross-party effort to oust Osborne from his job before he does more damage.

The only thing to do is to Vote Leave so we can kick George into the twilight zone where he belongs.

Vote Leave Chair Gisela Stuart said:

‘I simply can’t believe that Alistair Darling and the Labour Party would support an Osborne punishment budget that is designed to hit the poorest hardest. George Osborne’s reckless and shameful proposals would, if not blocked, cut the NHS, cut pensions and cut funding for schools and I will never vote for this and nor do I think will any of my Labour colleagues.

‘I hope the Labour Party will now make clear that these desperate proposals would never have our support, and are nothing more than another sorry attempt to scare the British people into supporting George Osborne, David Cameron, and their rich friends who want us to remain in the EU.’

Joint statement from 57 Conservative MPs:

‘We find it incredible that the Chancellor could seriously be threatening to renege on so many manifesto pledges. It is absurd to say that if people vote to take back control from the EU that he would want to punish them in this way. We do not believe that he would find it possible to get support in Parliament for these proposals to cut the NHS, our police forces and our schools.

‘If the Chancellor is serious then we cannot possibly allow this to go ahead. It would be unnecessary, wrong and a rejection of the platform on which we all stood. If he were to proceed with these proposals, the Chancellor’s position would become untenable.

‘This is a blatant attempt to talk down the market and the country. The Chancellor risks doing damage to the British economy in his bid to win this political campaign.’
