Asked about what he would do as chancellor, Tice said the party's priority would be to focus on savings and cutting regulation. "We have to focus on the savings because regrettably the finances of this country are in terrible, terrible trouble," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "We will have to deal with whatever nightmare situation the government finances are in at the time of the next general election."
The letter from nearly 60 Labour MPs challenges Richard Tice's assertion to abolish green energy contracts, emphasizing the need for understanding the economic impact of such actions.
