Sir Keir Starmer said Liz Truss had “taken the economy” and “driven it into a wall” after the Prime Minister’s suggestion that Labour was part of an “anti-growth coalition”.
The Labour leader branded Ms Truss the “destroyer of growth” as he baulked at the Prime Minister’s claim, adding mortgages were rising as a “direct result” of the Government’s “kamikaze mini-budget” last month.
Analysis by the Labour Party suggests an average UK buyer coming off a two-year fixed mortgage could see a £498 monthly hike if interest rates hit 6%.
