EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to the Chancellor’s remarks that "we may see a blip in inflation in September", Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:
"It is an insult to the British people that the Chancellor describes people's weekly food shops and bills going up as just a 'blip'.
"The Conservatives simply don't get it and have completely failed to get a grip of spiralling bills.
"Ministers have neglected to produce any kind of plan to grow the economy, create good jobs and tackle the cost of living crisis. People up and down the country are paying the price for years of Conservative failure."
