austerity

Musk has admitted that his plans would inflict "hardship" on Americans; austerity measures in other countries have led to skyrocketing poverty rates and economic instability.

She said the, now "unrecognisable", Labour Party's budget last week was a "missed opportunity" which resulted in "continued austerity, inequality, poverty, and hardship for millions of people".

Think back a little further to the general election campaign and one of the SNP’s key attack lines was that a Labour government would deliver continued austerity.

A line can be drawn under the years of austerity, at least until a longer term spending review.

In a pre-budget speech the Prime Minister pledged to “rebuild” public services and “reject austerity”.
