Inflation figures are "stark reminder that cost-of-living crisis is far from over"

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the latest inflation figures released this morning, Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said: 

“Today’s figures are a stark reminder that the cost-of-living crisis is far from over. Years of Conservative chaos have devastated families up and down the country as countless people are still paying the price of Conservative mismanagement. 

"From mortgage payments and rail fares to the cost of food in supermarkets people are feeling a hangover from hell all thanks to successive Conservative Prime Ministers.

“The Government needs to tackle the cost-of-living crisis head-on, starting by investing in our farmers to bring down food prices, saving families money by expanding free school meals to all children in poverty and implementing a one-year freeze to rail fares.”
