TUC slams Sunak's ‘laughable’ economy claims
Paul Nowak, general secretary of the TUC, September 11, 2023

THE TUC will slam the Tories for failing working people today, dismissing the Prime Minister’s economic claims as “laughable.”

While millions continue to struggle with the cost of living, Rishi Sunak said that inflation was “back to normal” last month and congratulated himself on the “major milestone.”

The consumer price index (CPI) still missed economists’ targets, after it slowed to 2.3 per cent in April, down from 3.2 per cent the month before, but Mr Sunak claimed that “brighter days are ahead.”
