RMT response to Chancellor's spring budget

"The only way you get real growth that benefits working people is by investment in publicly owned public services, transport infrastructure and a general wage rise to increase spending power in the economy.

"This can be paid for by windfall taxes on big business profits and taxing the super rich to unlock wealth and distribute it more evenly across society.

"We need a general election as soon as possible in order to give the electorate the opportunity to vote this Tory government out of office."
