Chancellor’s promises would be ‘overwhelmed by no-deal Brexit’, says TUC

Responding to the Chancellor’s Spending Round announcement today (Wednesday), TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said: 

“The Chancellor’s promises would be overwhelmed by a no-deal Brexit. If we leave the EU without a deal, jobs will be lost, wages will fall, and our public services will suffer.  

“After a decade of needless austerity, we need a long-term plan to deliver world-class public services. But there’s no chance of that when this Prime Minister is prioritising a no-deal Brexit and tax cuts for the rich.”
