IFS analysis: Conservative ministers are economic vandals

EMBARGO: Immediate release

Responding to IFS analysis of the Autumn Statement today, Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey said:

“This blistering verdict confirms the British public's worst fears. Everyone is being made to suffer eye-watering increases in tax, bills and mortgage payments because of this Conservative government's terrible mistakes.

“People's living standards are falling off a cliff and public services are suffocating under the weight of this Conservative chaos and incompetence.

"Conservative ministers are responsible for economic vandalism on a scale never seen before in British history. Never has a party been so unfit for government."
