Chancellor says UK economy 'turned a corner' after inflation drops to 2.3%

The Chancellor has told Sky News that the UK economy has "turned a corner" after inflation dropped to 2.3% in April.
Jeremy Hunt said he was careful not to make "inflationary decisions" and was committed to bringing down taxes for people and to help build a stronger economy.
He said the Conservatives were "willing to do the hard work to bring down taxes".

They must think we are all stupid.

[@Andrew-tx9jy]

They've all learned from BoJo to just simply lie as most of the media don't call them on it...

[@eamonnpotts5063]

My wallet tells me we ain’t turned any corner and still on a very much downward slope with this lot!

[@tomhoughton2765]

We've turned about 6 corners in the last 12 months, according to the Chancellor. Must be going around in circles.

[@steveholmes381]

We've had the energy price crisis, the next one is likely to be the water price crisis.

[@royboy565]

The biggest crisis of all would be to vote the tories in power again at next election.

[@monkeyboy8424]

Someone please tell the hunt chancellor my weekly food shopping bill keeps INCREASING !

[@TizerWales]

The UK economy has turned a corner... and straight into a dead end!

[@earnestequivocation6250]

Meaningless gibberish. Car insurance energy bills water bills food and petrol increases have all far outstripped wage rises. All against a backdrop of record breaking corporate profits

[@Andrew-tx9jy]

I don't know how they can have the cheek to keep saying BS like this when EVERYONE can see their bills spiralling forever upward .

[@maxharbig1167]

"Turned a corner" and heading down a pretty dark alley.

[@garylyall811]

Exactly

[@stanthesteelguitarman8228]

Oh, the super rich and their big business friends will be delighted! But the economy for the rest of us stays in PERMANENT recession.

[@vincesiy1403]

Exactly. SMEs still suffering and closing. Families still see their savings at an all time low.

[@shiv2henji915]

Tax the rich more. Only way out

[@Craig121000]

Inflation hasn't impacted me.

[@Nala1950]

Jam tomorrow with the tories

[@christopher554]

Ho sorry got too put taxes up

[@flyingdutchman3483]

Claiming something they had no hand in as usual. If inflation goes up it is the war in Ukraine, Coronavirus or the Bank of England board should be sacked, but if inflation falls its always smart moves by the government. Why don't they tell the public to stop moaning and tell us due to the governments streamlining the NHS is now running better and cheaper, and Britain has seen a better growth in food banks than other European countries which of course is a Brexit benefit.

[@user-fm6ns5nb4j]

She's asking him if the Tories haven't contributed to inflation by increasing the minimum wage and paying public sector workers more? If the Tories hadn't done that she'd be criticizing him for leaving lower paid workers in poverty, and talking about what a sh*tshow the resulting public sector strikes had caused. This presenter is incredibly irritating.

[@MY-fl5xl]

She is a hater.

[@Davokane888]

Hunt wouldn’t know the price of a pint of milk in the shop ffs

[@turingtrading5301]

Inflation is not down as far as expected - not good news

[@jayparmar2322]

My main inflation indicator is the price of my favourite Pringles! And so far so good that it is now near pandemic level of £1.25. It reached to £2.5 before but now backed to £1.5. So well done chancellor for helping me buy Pringles again.

[@user-cs1dt2xw4c]

The country is bankrupt.

I suppose its good that inflation is on a downward trajectory.

[@CS_____]

so funny that inflation is still happening, just less, and it's the best press the tories can scrounge together

[@mikeybluak2442]

Independently my foot

[@Galacticmaster]

Supply and demand inflation due to Russian gas has gone down ONLY. the economy is still rough with no growth as the Tories keep cutting and have the excuse of paying the covid bill of £600 billion. No one is actually talking about the Real price rise of over 20% since 2016 and the sheer lack of growth in job numbers and quality. ohhh did we forget that one jezza???

[@dianeglanville]

Creepy hunt

[@antman6519]

Convenient stats manipulation for an election year! Food and car fuel still on the rise.
