Anneliese Dodds responds to Boris Johnson denying there is a crisis

“Boris Johnson is so out of touch that he can’t see a crisis when it’s staring him in the face.

“Try telling the teacher who couldn't get into school because she couldn't find petrol that there's no crisis.

"Or the social care worker who will lose £1,000 a year when the Government cuts Universal Credit tomorrow, and worrying if he can afford to heat his house.

“The chaos millions of working people are currently facing hasn’t come about by chance. It's a crisis made in Downing Street, and it’s the Prime Minister’s responsibility to sort it out.”
