Darren Jones comments on PM's claim that 'debt is falling'

Darren Jones MP, Labour’s Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury said:

“The Prime Minister appears to have no grip on the reality of 13 years of Tory economic failure.

“Rishi Sunak promised to cut debt, but the national debt has hit record levels, surpassing £2 trillion for the first time ever.

“Labour will introduce tough new fiscal rules to build a rock of economic stability, never playing fast and loose with the economy.”

Ends.
