3:37Now PlayingInflation is rising quickly. The cost of living in the UK is getting more expensive in 2022. And it's the Conservative party's fault.
In his Spring Statement, Rishi Sunak blamed the war in Ukraine - specifically the cost of sanctioning Russian oligarchs - and the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic.
But George Eaton argues that the problems date back far further - that in fact Conservative policies dating back years are the cause of the 2022 cost of living crisis.
Watch this video to understand why Boris Johnson and the Conservative party would love to blame the Ukraine war... when in fact their own fiscal policies are responsible for rising inflation in the UK.
