Rishi Sunak ‘most incompetent chancellor I have ever seen', says Labour MP

Labour MP Barry Sheerman, the UK's longest-serving continuously Labour MP has hit out at chancellor Rishi Sunak, calling him "the most incompetent chancellor I have ever seen".

Sheerman said: "We all know the chancellor is a fast-talking, slick operator, who knows how to keep his head down when it's useful. But can I tell you as someone who's been in this house since 1979, he's the most incompetent chancellor I've ever seen. When children is my constituency go to bed with no food in their tummies, no heat in their homes, what does he think is the honourable position."
