ONS pay figures: Chancellors have fanned the flames of this cost of living crisis
EMBARGO: Immediate release
Responding to this morning's latest ONS earnings and unemployment figures, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Sarah Olney said:
"Successive Conservative Chancellors have fanned the flames of this cost of living crisis. Their deeply shameful tax hikes and failure to grow the economy has lead to Britain's pay being squeezed despite unbearably high bills. It has been an economic clown show from this Conservative Government.
"There is no light at the end of the tunnel for the cost of living crisis because the Government continue to sit on their hands. Families are left facing sprialling bills whilst their mortgages go up because the Conservative party crashed the economy. The Conservative party can never be trusted again with the British economy."
