LESS than 10 per cent of voters back George Osborne’s plan to keep slashing public spending to achieve a budget surplus.

A poll published by last night’s Evening Standard found 27 per cent of the public believe all cuts should “stop now” and a further 30 per cent want the Chancellor to ease off austerity in next month’s Budget.

Asked for their economic priorities, one-third of adults said they want to see more money spent on public services.
