GDP stats: Rishi's recession confirmed
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to this morning's ONS figures confirming the UK economy did go into recession last year, Liberal DemocratTreasury spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:
“These damning figures confirm the damage done to the UK economy by Rishi’s recession. This Conservative government has no plan for growth or to help families paying the price for years of economic chaos through soaring mortgages and rents.
“The Liberal Democrats have a bold plan to get the economy growing again, fix our broken trading relationship with Europe and support small businesses on the brink. It’s clear the best thing for the economy would be a general election, so we can kick the Conservative Party out of power and offer the real change the country needs.”
