But they keep saying, that the cuts are now over, due to us coming out of the eu, but are they?. I keep hearing this on the news.
The cuts were for 10 years ending in 2020, where there will be a new spending review.
The spending review will be able to take Brexit changes into account (assuming we have a deal of some sort by then).
But anyone expecting the government coffers to magically open is deluding themselves.
We still haven't achieved the savings expected from 2010.
Any tactical benefit from Brexit will go on the increased costs of borders and our own new regulatory regime.
Against that, the £50 billion for NR in CP6 is nothing short of miraculous.
The much maligned Mr Failing Grayling managed to get that through the Treasury somehow.
