Peter
Dowd MP, Labour’s Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury, commenting on TUC research which
has revealed one in eight workers skip meals to make ends meet, said:
“This is yet further devastating evidence of the consequences of seven years of
the Conservatives’ mismanagement of our economy which has left many people
struggling to afford basic necessities.
“While
the Conservatives are running an economy rigged for an elite few and
failing to tackle tax avoidance, Labour will stand up for the many and put
more money in people’s pockets by introducing a £10 an hour Real Living
Wage, scrapping the public sector pay cap and reducing household bills by
bringing key public services and utilities back into public hands.“
