The Tories hit out at Labour after new figures showed the Government has borrowed £112.1 billion so far this year.

Shadow Chancellor Sir Mel Stride said: “Labour have borrowed £112.1 billion so far this year – the fifth highest borrowing on record. Record high taxes and irresponsible spending have weakened the economy.

“With youth unemployment now higher than in Europe, inflation above target and the economy stagnant, Wes Streeting is right: Labour have ‘no growth strategy’.

“Neither Labour nor Reform have the serious answers to stabilise the public finances.

“Only the Conservatives have a leader with a backbone, the plan and the team to get Britain working again.”
