Rachel Reeves responds to today's GDP figures

Rachel Reeves MP, Labour's Shadow Chancellor, responding to today's figures which show GDP fell by 0.3% in the three months to November 2022, said: 

“Today’s results are just another page in the book of failure that is the Tory record on growth.

“The news of further economic pain will be deeply concerning to families already struggling with the soaring cost of living.

“People will be asking themselves whether they feel better off under the Tories, and the answer will be no.

“But this is not a new trend. 13 years of Tory failure and wasted opportunities have left growth on the floor and our economy weakened.

“What we need now is a Labour government to stabilise our economy and to get it growing.”
