GDP: Govt more obsessed with infighting than getting economy moving

EMBARGO: Immediate release 

Responding to new GDP statistics which show a 0.2% rise in April, Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:

“Month after month we see the economy growing at a snail's pace - it’s clear this government is just totally out of ideas and out of control. 

“The Conservatives seem more obsessed with infighting than putting in the hard work needed to get our economy moving again. 

“This Government soap opera needs to end so we can get on with the job and give people a fair deal. We finally need to see a proper plan to grow the economy and tackle the soaring price of food, mortgage bills and energy.”
