Mr Bell, whose twin brother Olaf Henricson-Bell was recently appointed as the new head of the No 10 policy unit, also made the argument for a number of tax-hiking measures during his time at the Resolution Foundation.
Conservative MP John Cooper said Mr Bell’s appointment rang the “alarm bell” as he “heard him say this the other day: ‘Does the Chief Secretary agree that one of the lessons from global developments in recent days is that we must pay for day-to-day public spending through tax rises, however tough that is?’”
