In response to the chancellor’s spring statement, Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said:

“Today’s statement was a real opportunity to do something for Britain - to back workers, to commit to our public services and British industry. Britain needs the government to have a real Labour vision. One that understands the deep cost-of-living crisis that is crippling families.
 
“This cost-of-living crisis is an everyday reality, and workers need immediate change that they can touch and feel, not numbers on a spreadsheet.
 
“If this government is going to reconnect with everyday people in Britain, it needs to stop the performative statements, roll up its sleeves and back Britain. Britain is hurting and we need action now.”
