That doesn't mean all Tory supporters will think it's a good idea to do it now.
How else will Kwarteng pay for tax cuts to the rich?
Squeeze the poor.
Robin Hood in reverse.
As an Old Etonian he has to look after his chums.
What was it the Big Red Bus said? £350million a week less?
Apparently we don't need to balance the budget anymore. No need for service cuts.

It's entirely possible to reduce government funding without reducing welfare.
On the subject of spend. How will labour fund buying up the energy companies? Or are they just planning to buy one and squeeze the others out of existence? How is that possible under EU subsidy laws? Maybe its a Brexit bonus?

So more austerity is good or bad ?
They aren't trying to drive out the other providers, just create an equivalent of EDF. It's obviously got potential to be a net positive for costs.
What else is the government going to cut? If there's 'efficiency' improvements to be made, why the hell haven't they been made already?
...but why bother, says the latest Tory shower. When you can take it from the poorest.
On the subject of Tory misery, the Labour party are not in power boyo.
When did the entire EU try austerity?
Some years back, same as us.

Hate to say it - but presently the government should have a temporary Tax Increase matched with an increase in benefits for those on UC, state pensions (Only where the SP is the sole pension) and help with housing costs.
A tax similar to what the EU is applying to the Energy companies would be more beneficial short and long term.
They should not have cut any personal taxes - including the high rates and maybe increased those pro-rata.
All that is going to happen as a result of the 23/09 budget is at a future date we are going to pay more tax for longer.
To be honest I can't believe the Gent (sarcastic) was serious and thinks this budget helps anyone (apart from a chosen few).

Can you find the word austerity in that document. You could try various word search packages.Some years back, same as us.

And individual countries have tried austerity, but not the EU, and not as a whole?
A reminder that EU do not decide individual member states budgets,
I'm not sure he has a sense of humour...
...but i read the word 'austerity' mentioned in regard to Austria; Belguim; Bulgaria; Lithuania; Ireland; Malta and the Netherlands and the rest avoid it by using different terms but the term austerity can be applied to the measures used. Obviously, it wasn't mentioned in the Uk's report. 'Elimination' was the preferred term.
