Let me repeat something that Huw Irranca-Davies said in his supplementary questions—that independent analysis of the budget says that it will lead to the highest fall in living standards since records began. Is that what the Member means by ambition? Is that the ambition the Conservative Party has for this country—that it's presided over the largest fall in living standards since records began? I don't find that a cause for optimism.
