Simon Clarke – 2022 Comments in Support of 45p Tax Rate

The comments made by Simon Clarke, the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, on Twitter on 2 October 2022.

Great answer by Liz Truss to Laura [BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg] on the 45p rate. We should do what’s right to grow the economy and have the simplest, most competitive tax code we can. Rather [than] obsess over the “optics”, let’s focus on policies which strengthen the country.
