GMB General Secretary responds to "let down" budget

Tim Roache, GMB General Secretary said: 

“People will rightly feel let down by what they've seen and heard today - and even more so when they see the small print. 

"The public sector pay cap remains bringing misery to thousands of front line workers who spend their lives teaching our kids, keeping us safe and looking after us when we're ill. 

“The Chancellor failed to mention social care once or to do enough for the millions of people struggling to save for their first home or get off housing waiting lists. 

“This is a Government that has run out of steam and ideas."
