Budget 2023: Britain is 'the sick man of Europe once again' - Starmer

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has dismissed the government's budget as a "sticking plaster" for an economy that is "in need of major surgery".

Responding to Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, Sir Keir called the Tories a "divided party" and accused them of "dressing up stagnation as stability as their expiry date looms ever closer".

He described the UK as "a country set on a path of managed decline, falling behind our competitors, the sick man of Europe once again."
