Chancellor will have to raise taxes or entrench austerity to pay for Budget spending splurge, IFS warnsChancellor Rishi Sunak will have to raise taxes or entrench austerity to pay for Budget spending splurge, IFS warns Throughout the GE I kept saying 'all this spending is going to come at a cost - cuts or tax increases'.

That'll be more austerity then, the very policy that gave us Brexit. Shame, I was looking forward to Johnson keeping his promise to lift the benefit cap for disabled people. Ohh wonder which one he will pick!
