Taking on the Chancellor over budget mistakes

Last week I grilled the Chancellor on her latest budget.

Ahead of the Treasury Committee meeting, I asked people in Carshalton and Wallington what they wanted me to raise on thier behalf. Here’s what they said:

I challenged the Chancellor to:

• Admit the mistakes she made on budget headroom
  
   
• Carry out an analysis of how tax changes affect the top 1% so that we properly understand wealth inequality
  
   
• Review tax reliefs and close tax loopholes
  
   
• Protect our NHS from Trump's big pharma drug price raid

Watch our exchange here:

Many local businesses also contacted me about the impacts of rising business rates. I raised their concerns in Parliament as Liberal Democrat Shadow Leader of the House of Commons.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts on the budget.
