Unite’s reaction to GDP figures

Unite’s joint general secretary, Derek Simpson said:
“The UK economy is still paying the price for the greed and recklessness of bank bosses. These figures show exactly why there can not be a return to the bonus culture that wrecked our economy and put thousands of ordinary finance and manufacturing workers out of work.

“The GDP figures also show just how wrong the Tories are on the economy. Their policies would plunge the UK into a deeper and longer lasting recession. They want no government intervention, they’ll do nothing to support and create jobs and they want savage cuts in public services.”
