Budget leaves families and businesses treading water

Bobby Dean MP has criticised the Budget for offering a long list of small measures without a clear plan to cut everyday costs or get the economy moving.

Speaking to LBC and GB News, Bobby said the Chancellor’s announcements fell short of the action families and businesses needed.

Bobby said: “Families and businesses needed bold action to bring down the cost of living and spur on growth. Instead, we got a treading water Budget that kicked the big decisions down the road.

“I’ve never seen so many announcements that add up to so little. A long list of small measures is no substitute for a proper plan for growth. I’ll be pressing the Chancellor on this when he comes before the Treasury Committee.

Bobby also highlighted the Liberal Democrats’ call for a return to the European Single Market to boost growth.
