Chancellor Ishii Sunak has assured newly elected Tory lawmakers that the government’s “dealing with the cost of the coronavirus” will not “lead to a frightening display of tax increases.”
He urged the Conservative intake of 2019 to show confidence in meeting the “short-term challenges” facing the party.
Some lawmakers have expressed fears that the U-turn could hurt the government’s position.
Mr. Down accidentally disclosed the words of his statement while holding his notes outside 11 Downing Street.
The Conservative Party, which won a 0-seat majority in the December general election, has seen its lead in cutting labor in recent weeks.
This has caused concern among some MPs who won seats over the traditional Labor Heartlands of the Midlands and North England, formerly known as its “red wall”.
An unnamed “red wall” Conservative told Press Association MPs in these areas, and others in the marginal seats, were “sharp” after giving a series of U-turns on issues including exam results, wearing facial ingots and funding school meals. They described the situation as “megadister”.
And Sir Gee Free Clifton-Brown, treasurer of the 1922 Tory MP, warned against “his own goals”: “We may have a large majority, but that does not mean we should not be so capable. As a government possible.”

Significant corporation tax increases and capital gains tax changes are made to meet the enormous cost of coronavirus by traders. But the government called this “speculation.”

It read: “We need to do some difficult things, but I promise you, if we trust each other, we will be able to overcome short-term challenges.”
Referring to reports that taxes could be raised to pay for the costs incurred during the epidemic, including the Furlo plan, it added:
He continued: “But that means treating the British people with respect, being honest with them about the challenges we face and showing us how we can improve our public finances and make our country a dynamic, low-tax economy. We want to give. See. “

But there is panic among Tory lawmakers about rumors of tax hikes and government decisions and more comprehensive messages.
Mr Sunak told his Conservative allies that ministers needed to show people a plan to improve public finances. Thinking makes him face difficult choices.
Government sources denied that the Chancellor’s remarks were “shameful” and added that it would have been a matter of public record anyway.
