Both Sajid Javid and John McDonnell pledged huge amounts of money to public services through borrowing as the ‘age of austerity’ was definitively brought to a close yesterday. Javid promised to put in billions to public services and borrow to fund more spending plans, while Labour have said that if elected they will spread what wealth and growth is left out of London and to the North and Midlands. A spending pot of £250 billion is apparently to be found somewhere, going to wards a ‘Green Transformation Project’.
Gerry doesn’t think they will have the cash…
