Both the deficit and the debt are a result of decades of spending beyond our means. The hope that growth can fix this problem is beyond ridiculous.
We must slash public sector spending, which means slashing jobs and increasing efficiencies. All non-essential spending should be frozen and in some cases cancelled (such as any money towards green cobblers). In fact cancelling Net Zero completely and returning to cheap, prosperous fuels would take the strain off the economy and allow for growth.
We have too many bone idle, "sick" (depression, anxiety etc) and "disabled" (bad backs, ADHD FFS) people sponging off the back of the tax payer. It is time for the dossers to pull up their socks and start contributing. The only way to do that is to remove their expensive comfort blankets
And also remove every DEI post in the public sector, no ideology on the public pound....back to meritocracy. If you're good enough that's all that should matter.
