Autumn Statement: The Chancellor’s attempt at a ‘give away’ budget is too little too late says Usdaw 22 November 2023 Retail trade union Usdaw has condemned the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement as a desperate attempt to grab headlines in the hope that voters will forget thirteen years of austerity, their crashing of the economy and the biggest cost of living crisis in more than a generation.
