Planning Decisions Have Been Sitting on the Secretary of State’s Desk for Years order-order.com/2020/07/23/pla…

* 50% of Americans will be infected (150 million).

This is after a decade of Chancellors consistently reducing overspending to close the deficit. The Tories promised to close the deficit in 2010, 2015 and 2017. They never did, looks like they never will.

Spending on trend under the Tories was due to fall below 38% of GDP next year. Let's see what the OBR forecasts after Rishi's first budget.
