Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
No longer the party of business, the Conservative Party looks set to no longer be the party of sound finance.
Quote:
Theresa May’s pledge to end austerity, renew the NHS, freeze fuel duties and increase council house building has left the UK Treasury facing a hole in the public finances of up to £35bn-a-year by the end of the current Parliament.
Further fuel duty freezes in the years ahead could raise that cost to £40bn a year, leaving chancellor Philip Hammond with a big borrowing problem to solve in the Budget on October 29.
