Come clean, George!
Osborne must tell where his public-sector axe will fall
George Osborne was ordered to “come clean with the British public” yesterday over which services will suffer in his plans to slash state spending by another £30 billion.
Public-sector union Unison general secretary Dave Prentis challenged the Tory Chancellor after he launched his latest assault on public spending in the Autumn Statement.
Mr Prentis told the Star: “The Chancellor must come clean with the British public and clearly explain where his extra £30bn of spending cuts will come from.”
