The govenment is planning to cut public sector investment by 16.7% ove the next five years https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/11/23/the-govenment-is-planning-to-cut-public-sector-investment-by-16-7-ove-the-next-five-years/. Hunt is planning real spending cuts in the budget. But he's also planning to slash investment by 16.7% over the next five years. Forget the need for social housing or to tackle RAACs in schools and hospitals and the green transition. The money has just gone. Irresponsibility does not come much bigger than this,
