Inflation: Families seeing mortgages skyrocket won't be feeling better off

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Commenting on inflation being at 2% in May, Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesperson Sarah Olney said:

“The hard truth is that millions of people won’t be feeling any better off today, thanks to years of Conservative economic mismanagement.

“Rishi Sunak’s boasts will ring hollow to countless families seeing their mortgages skyrocket and agonising rises in shopping prices compared to just a few years ago.

“It is sheer desperation from the Conservatives to claim their plan for the economy is working, when they have presided over the worst cost of living crisis in a generation. 

"Communities across the UK are fed up with this out-of-touch Conservative party, with many in Blue Wall seats turning to the Liberal Democrats to offer a fair deal for the economy."
