Interest rates: would have happened months ago if Govt “was not acting as a roadblock to growth”

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to interest rates falling to 4%, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Daisy Cooper MP said:

“This could be welcome news for households who have been hammered by sky-high mortgage rates, but let's not fool ourselves - this would have happened months ago if the Government was not acting as a roadblock to growth.

“The mess the Conservatives left cannot be overstated, but Labour is failing to clean it up with their growth-crushing jobs tax and refusal to cut the reams of red tape holding back our exporters.

“Countless people will still be worried about keeping a roof over their head and putting food on the table until the Government get serious about growth, and is more ambitious on the cost of living crisis by taking on our proposals to cut energy bills in half.”
