17 November 2022
Responding to the Autumn Statement, West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin said:
"The Chancellor speaks about a compassionate and balanced approach, but in reality he plunges communities in West Yorkshire into a bleak and uncertain future.
"Our common enemy should be inflation and inequality, yet Jeremy Hunt has taken aim at levelling up with his u-turn on Northern Powerhouse Rail in full, and by forcing local authorities to hike Council Tax to plug the blackhole in their budgets.
"Despite the Chancellor’s rhetoric, record levels of inflation will have a devastating impact on public services as we enter into a recession."
