This Government is continuing to invest in Britain’s future, building a stronger economy, rebuilding our public services, and improving our living standards.
We’re tackling the cost of living by taking £150 off family energy bills this year, freezing rail fares and prescription charges, delivering 30 hours of funded childcare every week, and raising 550,000 children out of poverty – including roughly 1360 here in Exeter.
The Tories crashed the economy with Liz Truss, driving up inflation and interest rates – destroying the value of the pound in our pockets. The forecasts today show that under this government inflation will keep falling, interest rates will keep falling, and wages are up more in 18 months under this government than in the first ten years of the Tories. This means more money in people’s pockets and living standards continue to rise for people in Exeter.
While the Tories and Reform offer more cuts and austerity, and the Greens promise unfunded spending sprees, I’m pleased that the Government is focused on the priorities of people in Exeter – growing the economy, fixing the public services we all rely on, and raising living standards for everyone.
