Is It Really The End To Austerity?

During a lively session in the House, accusations of “electioneering” were thrown about, while the Chancellor was warned not to deviate from the topic of the spending round, as his speech was tainted by talks of a Bill regarding delaying Brexit. Despite the increases, spending levels for many key departments remains well below those of 2010. These announcements come with warnings of financial uncertainty in turbulent times amid Brexit chaos.
