A POLITICIAN is calling for immediate action to help the economy recover faster.

Hyndburn MP Graham Jones, pictured, said action should be taken now to boost growth for the next 12 months. He said: “However we stil have seen no action from the government to boost our flat-lining economy and ease the squeeze on living standards.

““It is wrong to make ordinary families pay the price for Government failure. Families are already on average £891 worse off this year.”
