Inflation: Welcome fall but winter will still be difficult for the most vulnerable

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the latest inflation figures, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Daisy Cooper MP said:

“The fall in inflation is welcome but we can’t fool ourselves that this winter won’t be difficult for the most vulnerable. 

“The price of a weekly shop is still sky high, energy prices have risen once again and people are still feeling the effects of the spike in mortgage rates.

“The government must urgently look at ways to support the most vulnerable this winter and that should start by reversing their decision to cut Winter Fuel Payments for millions of worried pensioners.”
