Reeves on Kuenssberg: Chancellor’s approach to growth “does not survive contact with reality”

26 Jan 2025

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the Chancellor’s remarks on Laura Kuenssberg, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Daisy Cooper MP said:

“Our country desperately needs economic growth but to date the government’s approach does not survive contact with reality. 

“The Chancellor must scrap her jobs tax which is weighing down small businesses and unleash their ability to trade more easily with a bespoke UK-EU customs union.

“After years of Conservative economic vandalism which caused immense financial hardship for so many, the Chancellor needs to change course now to get the growth that will help families and small businesses.”
