workers in our country. it supports working families, it helps with the cost of living and it rewards work. this was a high spend, high tax budget not that you d believe it from listening to this. government has limits. government should have limits. if this seems a controversial statement to make, then i m all the more glad for saying it because that means it needed saying, and it is what we believe. my goal is to reduce taxes. by the end of this parliament, i want taxes to be going down, not up. this budget levels up to a higher wage, higher skill, higher productivity economy, this budget builds a stronger economy for the british people and i commend it to the house. the commons, some back in masks, though, still stalked by covid. i was absolutely gutted this morning to test positive for covid.
