Rachel Reeves responds to TUC's call for 'Emergency Budget' on the cost of living crisis

Rachel Reeves MP, Labour's Shadow Chancellor, responding to the TUC's call on the Chancellor to come back to Parliament with an 'Emergency Budget' on the cost of living crisis, said:

“Rishi Sunak is out of touch and his cynical political choices are making the cost of living crisis worse by hiking taxes for workers while shielding the record profits of oil and gas producers.
“The Conservatives should adopt Labour's plans for a one-off windfall tax to provide cut household energy bills by up to £600 - and do so as fast as possible.

“The Chancellor's Spring Statement was totally inadequate in addressing the realities facing working people and the least well off.”
