Lord Sugar: 'No tax rises but more austerity' after coronavirus

Lord Sugar has told 蜜芽传媒 Radio 5 Live the coronavirus pandemic will lead to austerity.

Speaking to Emma Barnett, Lord Sugar said it will take 鈥渁 couple of years鈥� for the country to recover, but that the country will 鈥済et over it鈥�.

"People talk about tax the rich, if you tax everybody earning over... a couple of hundred thousand a year, if you tax them to the tune of 60%... it would bring nothing to the coffers."
