austerity is just fancy talk for tory “we need to make the rich richer and the poor poorer again” it is as simple as that… the whole brexit is a shambles too as what a lot of people don’t realise is all the pro brexit mps have investments in companies that get payments from eu. As it stands if your business gets a payment from the eu you pay tax, if outside the eu you don’t pay tax on it. Once we leave you wont pay tax on payments from companies in the EU… So reality they are just interested in lining their own pockets.
