The Queen’s son has attacked the “useless” Labour Government.
Tom Parker Bowles said on Monday that Labour was implementing a “politics of envy” after raising taxes in the Budget last week.
Sir Keir Starmer insisted he and Rachel Reeves had not misled anyone over the size of the country’s fiscal shortfall before the announcement.
The Prime Minister continuously defended the Chancellor against accusations that she lied to the public and the markets about the need for higher taxes.
However, Sir Keir failed to convince Parker Bowles, who voiced his anger towards them while hosting the Boisdale Xerjoff Cigar Smoker of the Year Awards.
The food writer and restaurant critic told attendees at Boisdale in Canary Wharf, London: “We’re here, back again, bruised, battered and perhaps destroyed, almost, by the sovereign functions of a Government so useless, they cannot even be bothered to lie properly.
“We’re still standing, of course, as we smoke fags and cigars, and drink, we have a good time.
“We mustn’t let the politics of envy sully what is one of the most glorious and lovely nights of the year.”
