Have they brought down the national debt? No. Are we still running a defect? Yes.
The national debt has never been higher than it’s current position, and the Brexit mess isn’t helping.
So the Tories have not achieved either objective. Austerity is “coming to an end” because in 2017 the Tories got slaughtered on the doorsteps finding people were more concerned about public services and living standards falling.
