Liberal Democrat MP for Chesham and Amersham, has called on the Government to recall Parliament, which is currently in recess, to fix Kwasi Kwarteng’s “shambolic” budget.
The call comes as the pound plummeted to a record low against the dollar, with the collapse in market confidence expected to lead to worsening inflation and spiking interest rates.
People and businesses in Chesham and Amersham are set to face a hammer blow with local MP Sarah Green saying that the aftermath of the budget has been given a “damning vote of no confidence.
The Liberal Democrats are calling for Parliament to be recalled, so that urgent action can be taken to address the unfolding economic disaster. They’re also demanding a windfall tax on oil and gas giants to help people and businesses with their bills.
Commenting Sarah Green, MP for Chesham and Amersham said:
“As a result of the shambolic budget announced by the Chancellor last week, we are seeing the pound plummet as the markets give the Conservatives a damning vote of no confidence.
“The Government must urgently recall Parliament so Kwasi Kwarteng can update this failed budget before it does any more damage to our economy and people’s livelihoods.
“It’s clear the Conservatives are totally out of touch and don’t have a proper plan to steer the economy through the difficult months ahead.”
