The former Cabinet minister suggested the Foreign Secretary's proposals would put 'the stock options of FTSE 100 executives' before the nation's poorest people
He added: “And here I am deeply concerned that the framing of the leadership debate by many has been a holiday from reality. The answer to the cost of living crisis cannot be simply to reject further ‘handouts’ and cut tax.
“I cannot see how safeguarding the stock options of FTSE 100 executives should ever take precedence over supporting the poorest in our society, but at a time of want it cannot be the right priority.”
