Responding to ONS data revealing GDP fell by 0.3% in April, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Christine Jardine MP said: "The Government's barrage of tax hikes and lack of cost-of-living support are leaving people to suffer, and now that's translating into worrying economic figures.
"The UK has the best universities, the best services sector and the best workforce - yet this Government is in such disarray that we're headed for the lowest growth in the G7. Their incompetence is nothing short of dangerous.
"Instead of giving speeches full of empty promises, Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak need to start listening to people and give them real help with the cost of living."
