Reeves must rule out tax rises for families and small businesses, say Lib Dems

12 Jun 2025

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the Chancellor refusing to rule out tax rises on LBC this morning, Sarah Olney MP, Liberal Democrat Business Spokesperson, said:

"The Chancellor talked about choices at her spending review yesterday. I say she must choose to put growth first and rule out any more tax rises for families and small businesses.

"Britain must go for growth through a bespoke new trade deal with the EU - allowing us to rebuild our economy and renew our public services.

"If anyone should be asked to pay more tax, it should be the big banks, social media giants and online gambling firms who have been raking in record profits while ordinary families struggle to make ends meet.”
