Interest rates: Cold comfort for the millions of hardworking families

2 Nov 2023

Responding to the latest interest rates decision, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:

"This is cold comfort for the millions of hardworking families forced to pay out hundreds of pounds more a month for their mortgage.

"The public are watching big banks being handed insulting tax cuts by this government, all whilst mortgage bills spiral. Frankly, the whole thing stinks.

"It's time the government scrapped their big bank tax cut and provided help for families who simply can't afford whopping mortgage bills. After all, this is a mess entirely of Liz Truss and numerous Conservative Chancellors making."
