Reacting to today’s budget statement, Community General Secretary Roy Rickhuss said:
“For all the bluster that accompanied it, this was another lacklustre budget from Jeremy Hunt. The gulf between the priorities of an ailing Sunak government on its last legs and the needs of ordinary working people could hardly be starker.
“From our members in steel and those who are self-employed, to the education and early years sectors and beyond, there was nothing of substance in the Chancellor’s statement to speak to the pressing concerns of workers.
“After 14 years of economic stagnation and mismanagement, the British public have had enough. Nothing in the Chancellor’s remarks today will change that, and we need a change of government to get Britain moving again and give working people a brighter future.”
