GDP: Little cause for celebration

10 May 2024

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Commenting on the latest GDP quarterly figures, showing the economy grew by 0.6% in the first three months of the year, Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:

“This Conservative Government crashed the economy and sent mortgages spiralling. If Rishi Sunak thinks hard-hit households will be celebrating today, he is even more out of touch than we thought. 

“Families hit with plummeting living standards and a cost-of-living crisis have had enough of this out of touch Conservative Government. 

“The only way to kickstart the economy is to boot this Conservative Government out of office. It’s time for a General Election.”
