YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Conservatives say they "welcome" the surprisingly promising growth figures released by the ONS this morning, but add they take it "with a huge amount of reluctance".
Speaking to Sky's Anna Jones, shadow environment minister Robbie Moore says: "This is just for February. We know that the OBR gave a huge amount of caution as we head into this year, projecting a reduction in growth, and also, this is before all of those punitive tax increases kick in this month, like the jobs tax, the employer's national insurance increases, minimum wage increases, business rates increases."
He adds that business certainty is "very, very low at the moment based on those tax increases that have come in this month."
