Reform MP Richard Tice criticizes Andy Burnham over UK borrowing costs
Reform MP Richard Tice criticized Andy Burnham during a Good Morning Britain appearance on Thursday, accusing him of doing a "bad job" as Prime Minister. Tice made the remarks while discussing Reform's policies from the party's conference in Birmingham. Tice argued that government borrowing costs are at their highest level since 2008 and claimed the Prime Minister is failing to reassure bond markets. He proposed ending voluntary interest payments on quantitative easing money, a policy he says he has advocated for over a year. The comments came a day after Tice faced Burnham at his first Prime Minister's Questions session on Wednesday. Tice also referenced Liz Truss's tenure, suggesting current debt costs exceed those during her brief time in office.
