Davey: Recession warning a "badge of shame" for Rishi Sunak and Conservative government
3 Nov 2022
EMBARGO: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Responding to the Bank of England's warning today that the UK is facing the longest recession on record, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:
"This is a badge of shame for Rishi Sunak and this Conservative government.
"Months of chaos and incompetence have played havoc with our economy and people are suffering as a result.
"Ordinary families and pensioners should not have to pay the price for the Conservative Party’s mistakes. It’s time for a proper windfall tax on oil and gas companies, and for benefits and pensions to be uprated in line with inflation."
