Reform- failed Tories who led the Brexit disaster

[Protheroe]

The cuts made during the coalition were in line with the March 2015 budget and 2010 Labour manifesto. It was not "accelerated" until the first budget after the May 2015 election

In fact, the scale of cuts was softer than what Labour proposed as it happened over 5 years Vs the 4 year programme from Labour.

And the "cuts" simply meant spending increased at a lower rate that it might otherwise have done.

What the public sector needed was fundamental reform, but no Party had / has the appetite for that when it can borrow so cheaply at rates it has artificially suppressed.
