Spring Statement

This month we had the Spring Statement and despite the fact we are currently living through a cost-of-living crisis this Government put forward no meaningful measures to tackle this.

Many people across the country are choosing between putting food on the table & heating their homes and this is completely wrong. I raised this with the Chancellor and called on him to introduce a windfall tax on North Sea oil & gas companies who have been cashing in on rising energy prices to help tackle rising energy bills.

​The Chancellor said to wait for the Prime Ministers statement on this but many can’t wait any longer, they need help now.
