For immediate release
Responding to the Office for Budget Responsibility’s latest fiscal risks report released today, John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“These numbers are a wake-up call of the fiscal pressures facing us as we emerge from the pandemic.
“It’s clear the economy has been battered by covid and left us a £10 billion black hole each year to add to our already 60 year high debt level.
“The government must get a grip on spending and bring our astronomical debt levels down.”
