Can anyone point to where you can find those cuts? the NHS is already on its knees, so welfare? How much more cruel and punishing can you possibly be? What can they possibly sell off that they haven’t already?
Finding £50bn in cuts during a high inflationary period. These are real mensa candidates in this Govt.
Might I suggest looking at MPS, cut their salaries right down to Universal Credit payments and slash their expenses. Bound to save a few quid.
Did tory voters not think this shit was going to happen?
**You have to be either very rich or very stupid to vote tory.**
We’re 6 months away from putting Cornwall up for sale to pay for pencils in schools so I cannot wait to see what they propose to cut. It will be the most unnecessarily cruel set of cuts you could ever imagine. They’re building a brand of evil incompetence mere weeks into their tenure, it’s astounding in it’s audacity. George Osborne is going to look like Father Christmas once this lot have finished.
Their growth plan is austerity. 12 years of cutting to the bone, now time to actually cut through the bone.
Tax breaks for rich, this is disgusting. Take from the poor give to the rich.
Absolute mind boggling financial incompetence
Imagine being someone who voted for these clowns
Cue the copium brigade to give me a stern talking to about how it could be worse under labour somehow (would it fuck)
And there is a very strong case to be made for many in this country that just because some consider austerity to be done with, it didn’t magically finish for those at the bottom
^(Really.. when regular people make mistakes like this prison sentences are involved)
Can I just point out that I say economists don’t know shit, and people say I am wrong and now they are saying we need austerity, something we all know doesn’t work?
I might be a bit thick in the head but holy shit.
Well let’s see what the TPA and IEA have on their wish list.
Looks like civil service cuts, NHS privatisation, and freezes for public sector pensions, all other public sector spending and benefits.
I can’t believe anyone in politics, who is serious, thinks this is a sensible strategy.
The Tories deserve to be out of power for a generation
Hopefully our quasi finance minister has some sort of a plan for this. I really do hope they say something sensible over the coming days to calm everything down.
Fire all public sector workers and give their salaries to rich people! That’ll save us!
Welfare benefits are going to get stripped, instead of 10% inflation linked probably goto 3%
*Return* to austerity? When in the last 12 years did it ever end?!
Look at how bad services are now; this will be viewed as the good times in a year because of these cuts. Tory voters, especially the members who voted for Truss, need to be honest with themselves because this is a direct consequence of their actions. The Tories have never done a good job of hiding their agenda but their voters have fallen hook, line and sinker time and time again, all because they do not want to admit that they have been manipulated over the years by the media. The Tories do not care about the vast majority of the British population, nor about the country’s long-term prospects. The Tories want to make money fast and keep themselves and their donors in a certain lifestyle. They are only conserving their own wealth, all at the expense of anything they can get their hands on.
Do they really want to try that? After Johnsons manifesto claimed they’d never go back to austerity? People won’t stand for it, let’s put it that way.
I thought it was going to be £100B! This is great news!
“Return”?? Has austerity ever gone away under the Tories in the past 7 years?
The Tories are planning to privatise the air we breathe. Enjoy it will it’s free.
We left austerity when? They haven’t stopped cutting since Osborne started.
“Return”
So when did it end?
Making it worse is not a return it’s just more cruelty
*Return* to austerity? When did we leave it? Not under this Government !
Just cut the basic state pension in half. Sorted! Gotta get those polling numbers down to single digits.
It’s a cult. There is no rational reason to vote for fascists that have a long history of damaging the country.
Well there are no ‘ getting rid of the fat’ cuts to be had so let’s just stop providing public services.
The only cut truly needed are those two… P45 now – just go
How about we just dont make tax breaks for the rich and instead tax these Tory cunts more and funnel the millions it generates into helping the lower closes survive winter with heating and food
Thing is, even if they stripped back every national service, it probably wouldnt cover it.
Friedman economics is over, why is it taking so long for people to figure it out?
It’s not austerity if you’re cutting taxes and public spending.
It’s austerity if you’re raising taxes and cutting spending.
It has a very clearly defined meaning, but the media has gone along with the Tory party lying about it constantly. This isn’t austerity.
This is just what conservatism is. It’s always been this, and it’s always been shit. This isn’t some kind of aberration. This is just what it’s like to have a right wing government.
I thought this was a silly redditised headline….
No. forgive me OP.

I’m sitting here fucking unable to type something coherent that wont put me on a Govt or police watch list.
I’m trying every mental gymnastic trick I can find to avoid saying
“I hate my fucking shithole of a third world dictatorship country”
I dont hate my country. I fucking love it to pieces.
But I wouldn’t weep if there was a political “Thanos snap” and half of these corrupt cunts turned to dust, even just as a warning to the other half who made it.
I daren’t scroll down the comments. Its 12:30 AM, and I dont want a rage migraine tonight.
FUCK.
We don’t even have basic services anymore, there is nothing to cut.
Ambulances no longer respond to strokes because it’s not high priority enough.
Plus another £65bn because of guaranteed pensions so far.
