Mr Morgan said: ‘The damage has been done to Portsmouth and the country – this is a Tory crisis made in Downing Street, paid for by working people, paying higher mortgage and borrowing costs.
‘The chancellor said that growth requires ‘confidence and stability’ yet it’s clear that the Tories can’t provide this.
‘They’ve lost all credibility. We are still flying blind with no OBR forecasts and no clarity of the impact of their mistakes.’
