John McDonnell, Labour’s Shadow
Chancellor, commenting
on the OECD’s economic outlook for the UK economy that has revised down future
growth, said:
“This is a hammer blow for
the Tories’ economic credibility. Only Italy is set to be a worse performer
than Britain amongst the major economies, and the Tories’ cliff-edge Brexit
will trash business investment.
"The OECD’s calls for
increased investment in our economy is a ringing endorsement of Labour’s
economic policy in this election, and shows the clear choice voters have on
Thursday. It is between a Labour plan for serious investment in our economy,
with a focus on living standards and a jobs-first plan for Brexit; or a Tory
plan that would hold our nation back with continued cuts to vital public
services and chronic under-investment.”
