As a worsening cost of living crisis looms, inflation is on the rise at a rapid rate.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak has now announced his spending plans in the Spring Statement, which was carefully scrutinised as people continue to struggle with bills that are set to get worse in April. It included a 5p cut in fuel duty.
But Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves mocked the statement, saying Sunak had taken inspiration from Alice and Wonderland. Reeves said: "We are presented with increasingly incredible claims. Perhaps the Chancellor has been taking inspiration from the characters in Alice in Wonderland. Or should I say – 'Alice in Sunakland'."
