It’s been an “interesting” day, to say the least, and there have been so many press releases coming out of HQ that, rather than try to get them into one post, it’s probably easier to do it in two. Think of it as a display of governance and organisation…
- Inflation figures: Truss must confirm rise in pensions and benefits today
- Welsh Liberal Democrats Respond to Proposed Boundary Changes
- PMQs: Truss refuses to increase support for carers
- Fracking vote: Conservative MPs must “show some backbone”
- Triple lock: Truss dragged kicking and screaming into protecting pensioners
Inflation figures: Truss must confirm rise in pensions and benefits today
In response to the announcement of an inflation rise of 10.1%, Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesperson Sarah Olney said:
In the midst of this cost of living catastrophe, pensioners and those relying on benefits cannot be undercut and left to struggle further.
Liz Truss must act today to reassure the public and confirm in Parliament that pensions and benefits will rise to match inflation.
Not one penny can be lost, to do so would be gross negligence and failure of our most vulnerable members of society.
