Pat McFadden comments on Rishi Sunak’s refusal to confirm a May election

Pat McFadden MP, Labour’s National Campaign Coordinator, commenting on Rishi Sunak’s refusal to confirm if the General Election will be in May, said:

“The Conservatives’ Budget confirmed what working people already knew: taxes are still rising, prices are still going up in the shops, and mortgages are higher.

“Keir Starmer’s changed Labour Party is ready offer long-term change to deliver more jobs, more investment, and to cut people’s bills.”
