Beware, Boris Johnson – Labour is starting to grow up after your tax- hiking, cash-splurging Big Budget Gamble

COULD last week’s tax- hiking, cash-splurging Labour-style Budget turn out to be the moment Boris Johnson lost the next ­election? Labour, perhaps surprisingly, thinks so. This was BoJo’s personal Big Budget Gamble — disowned, to the Prime Minister’s irritation, by Chancellor Rishi Sunak even as he was delivering it to Parliament.
