If the Defence Secretary can’t trust the Chancellor to pay his bills, how can anyone else in the country? – Dowd

Peter Dowd MP, Labour’s Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury, responding to the reports of infighting between the Defence Secretary and the Chancellor, said:

“On a day when the Chancellor is happy to see commuters face extortionate increases in their rail fares, we discover he expects others to pick up the bill for his own travel costs.

"And if the Defence Secretary cannot trust the Chancellor to pay his bills, how can anyone else in the country?”
