Shadow Cabinet Office minister Alex Burghart criticized the government, stating, 'The truth is this government isn't doing anything to bring down inflation. This government is stoking inflation.' He attributed the rise in inflation to above-inflation pay rises and recent budget decisions, arguing these moves adversely affect working people.
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner countered Burghart's claims, emphasizing the previous government's mismanagement, noting, 'Many people might not know, but [Burghart] was the minister for growth when, under Liz Truss, inflation was 11.1% and growth flatlined.' This comparison aimed to highlight the current administration's better handling of the economy.
