Shadow Leader of the House Jesse Norman criticises the Chancellor’s Spring Statement in which her growth forecast has been halved, she increased cuts to welfare benefits, and has a projected record-high tax burden by 2027-28 with the threat of more tax rises to come.

Jesse Norman reflects on the life and values of his father, Torquil Norman, creator of Polly Pocket toys and founder of the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm who passed away yesterday.

Jesse Norman challenges the Leader of the House of Commons on the Government’s approach to rural areas and the countryside and invites her to visit Herefordshire to see for herself the effect of its punitive policies.
