OECD forecast: Damning verdict of the Government's economic record

EMBARGO: Immediate release 

Responding to the latest OECD forecast which puts Britain bottom of the G7 table for economic growth, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Sarah Olney said: 

"This Conservative Government has trashed the British economy and left hardworking families to pick up the tab. The OECD's damning verdict of the Government's economic record should shame the long list of this year's Conservative Chancellors.  

"Months of Conservative chaos and an ever changing cast of Chancellors has added to the pain. We have all lost track of how many Chancellors there has been this year, but all of them are guilty of hiking taxes in the middle of a cost of living crisis and wrecking all hope of economic growth. 

"I don't think the Conservative party will ever be forgiven for this. The blame for this recession lies firmly at their door."
