In 2009/10, the last year of a Labour government, public spending was running at £670 Billion/year. In 2015/16, £756 Billion/year. That’s a rise of just 1% after adjusting for inflation. It is expected to rise to £820 Billion/year in 2019/20. Assuming low inflation continues, that amounts to a real-terms increase.
So much for all the shroud-waving done by Labour, the trade unions, the so-called BBC and theGrauniad. And so much for G. Osborne's claims that he believes in fixing the roof while the sun is shining. Gordon Brown must be laughing his little cotton socks off when he climbs into his coffin at night.
