GMB Union has responded to the Chancellor's budget

Gary Smith, GMB General Secretary, said:

"Today's budget looks like the final nail in the coffin for the Conservative's failed austerity project.

"Key public services, essential national infrastructure, and communities across the UK suffered deep wounds because the Tories made the wrong economic choices - we must never go back to those dark days.

"The challenge for Labour is to grip the task of rebuilding our economy and country, lock in essential investment to create growth, and start bringing a bit of hope to people."
