At Prime Minister’s Questions today, Jeremy Corbyn listed “four facts about the economy”:
- More people in debt
- More people using foodbanks
- More people sleeping on our streets
- And more children in poverty
The Labour leader added: “The consequences of decisions made by the Chancellor are that the NHS is suffering the longest funding squeeze in history, it’s sent our health service into an all-year round crisis.”
