The British public don't need more economic turmoil
17 Oct 2022
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to the news that the Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is to fast-track measures to pay for Liz Truss's mini-budget, Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:
“The Conservative Party have used the British people as an economic football for far too long.
“Jeremy Hunt now expects families and pensioners to cope with increased mortgage costs, soaring energy bills, sky-high petrol prices and rising food costs while the unfair bankers bonus is still in place.
"As the Conservative Party continues to wreck our economy Liz Truss is nowhere to be seen. Rather than more economic turmoil and despair we should have a general election now.”
