ONS Stats: Economy still suffering consequences of Conservatives

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the latest ONS GDP figures from January 2023, Liberal Democrat Treausry Spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:

“These disappointing figures are yet another reminder that our economy is suffering under this Conservative Government, and people are feeling this under-performance in their own pockets.

“The Conservative party has broken this country’s economy with record energy bills, rising food prices and soaring mortgage costs. Yet they are completely out of touch with people’s worries.

“The Chancellor needs to take action in next week’s Budget by cutting people’s energy bills by £500, and putting in place a proper plan to get our economy growing fairly and sustainably.”
