Fiscal plan delay leaves families in a cloud of uncertainty

Responding to the news of the fiscal event being delayed until the 17th of November, Treasury spokesperson for the Liberal Democrats, Sarah Olney MP said:

“This delay risks leaving mortgage borrowers, pensioners and struggling families under a damaging cloud of uncertainty.

“Rishi Sunak must confirm now that benefits and pensions will be up-rated in line with inflation, and there will be no cuts to our NHS and other crucial public services.

“Sunak was installed by Conservative MPs into Number 10 without anyone voting for him, and without telling anyone about his plans for the country.

“The public deserve to know immediately what lies in store, and that they will not be made to pay for the Conservative Party trashing our economy.”
