Interest Rates: Bank of England prolonging cost-of-living crisis, Unite
- Thursday 5 February 2026
In response to the decision of the bank of England’s monetary committee to hold interest rates, Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said:
“The Bank of England is prolonging the cost-of-living crisis. After years of wage stagnation, we’re now seeing rising unemployment. Workers need lower interest rates to boost living standards and spur investment.”
