Autumn Statement a deception after years of Conservative tax hikes
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to the Autumn Statement, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:
"This is a deception from Jeremy Hunt after years of cruel tax hikes on hard-working families from this government.
"Conservative chaos has sent mortgages and tax bills soaring, today’s announcements won’t even touch the sides.
“Worse still was the deafening silence on health. These dismal forecasts show the economy is on life support and reducing NHS waiting lists is the shot in the arm needed.
“It is a no-brainer that we need people off waiting lists and back to work, yet this Conservative government simply doesn’t care.
“Today has been more stale nonsense from a Conservative government out of touch and out of ideas.”
