The Government “will not take risks with people’s living standards” in the Budget next month, Prime Minister Andy Burnham said, after official figures showed another jump in inflation. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that inflation accelerated to a five-month-high of 3.1% last month as higher fuel prices and airfares pushed up the cost-of-living for Britons. The Prime Minister stressed that he is prepared to take “difficult decisions” on the economy to ensure that it “remains on track”. Speaking with Former Conservative Government Minister Steve Baker, Talk's Julia Hartley-Brewer says: "We have this, you know, £22 billion black hole that was miraculously discovered!" #labour #budget #juliahartleybrewer #talk Have you got a story?
