Inflation rises: Proof the Chancellor should have cut energy bills in the budget

22 Mar 2023

EMBARGO: Immediate release

Responding to this morning's inflation figures, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Sarah Olney said:

"This rise is just more proof why the Chancellor should have cut energy bills in the budget. Instead he sat on his hands and we are left with rising inflation once more.

“People across the country are struggling and the Government has failed totemically to support hardworking families and pensioners.  

“The Conservatives' record on the cost of living crisis has been nothing short of a disaster, people shouldn't have to pay the price for this Government's economic omnishambles.”
