More lefty FAKE NEWS, there hasn't been any austerity. This government has always spent more than the country has earned, borrowing is increasing, the deficit is eyewatering, and the National Debt is now counted in trillions of pounds. The fact is, this Tory government has NEVER spent less then the Labour government spent in 2006, and we managed perfectly well back then, without any whining about 'austerity'.
