The Chancellor Jeremy Hunt will be revealing the budget tomorrow

GB News host Eamonn Holmes has delivered a slap down to a Tory MP ahead of the budget tomorrow.

Speaking to Greg Hands MP he said: "[Its is] human misery, Minister, the cost of living crisis for so many people.

They simply just care about their own lives and how much money they will have in their pockets or purses. I mean there's one proposal to put 20 per cent VAT on taxi fares around the country, business class tickets on airplanes to tax those as well.

Whether these things are true or not, and you're going to say to me we'll have to wait until tomorrow, but what I'm simply saying is you guys in government, you just don't seem to get the message, do you

"People are absolutely creaking. They're breaking at the knees and they're saying get off our backs."
