Chancellor's budget a “desperate deception” as families in Mid Sussex face soaring bills

Mid Sussex Liberal Democrats have labelled the Chancellor’s budget announcement today a “desperate deception”, with income tax still set to rise for local people.

Mid Sussex Liberal Democrats have said that local residents will see through this “deception” by the Chancellor and that people don’t want more “empty promises” from this Conservative government whilst “local health services are left on their knees”.

Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Mid Sussex, Alison Bennett said:

“This Budget will barely touch the sides for families and pensioners around here, who are facing soaring mortgage and rent bills while the cost of the weekly shop goes through the roof. 

“People in Mid Sussex know that their tax bills will remain sky high after this budget, and the Chancellor is attempting a desperate deception after years of income tax hikes. 

“People don’t want more Conservative empty promises while our local health services are left on their knees. They want proper change through a General Election so we can kick this Conservative government out of office. 

“It’s clear the choice in Mid Sussex at the next election will be between an out-of-touch Conservative or a hard–working Liberal Democrat local champion.”
