Labour reacts to George Eustice's comments on Kay Burley this morning

Pat McFadden MP, Labour’s Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury, reacting to George Eustice’s comments on Kay Burley that "generally speaking what people find is that by going for some sort of value brands rather than own branded products, they can actually sort of contain and manage their budgets", said:

“This is woefully out of touch from a government with no solution to the cost of living crisis facing working people.

“People are seeing their wages fall, fuel and food costs rise, and families are worried about how to make ends meet.

“It’s time for the Government to get real help to people rather than comments that simply expose how little they understand about the real struggles people are facing to pay their bills”.
