James O'Brien told listeners that he thinks we should be "proud" of paying tax.
He concluded: "When you stand for nothing, you fall for everything...They should have it tattooed across their foreheads."
Today, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt delivered a new budget, with a series of ‘eye-watering’ tax rises and cuts to public spending today in an Autumn statement aimed at plugging the multi-billion pound hole in Britain’s finances.
The statement was The Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's opportunity to lay out their financial plans for the country as they aim to plug a £50bn hole in Britain's finances.
Jeremy Hunt said in today's Autumn Statement that personal tax thresholds will be maintained at current levels for a "further 2 years", to strengthen public finances.
