Emma Reynolds MP was lying through her back teeth for Labour this morning

Posted on March 17 2025

Emma Reynolds MP, a Labour Treasury minister, has been out on the media round this morning, lying through her back teeth.

She claimed that the UK government is nowhere near austerity. This is nonsense.

Austerity, in terms of government policy, refers to measures aimed at reducing public sector debt and budget deficits through spending cuts, tax increases, or both. This is exactly why the government is cutting disability benefits and austerity is, in any event, a policy choice, which Labour has taken.

There is no public sector debt problem. There isn't a deficit problem in the UK. There is no need to balance a budget. Labour has chosen to make these issues. So it has chosen austerity.

Reynolds did, however, claim such problems really do exist. She claimed that one pound in every ten the UK government spends is on debt interest. This is blatantly untrue. According to the Office for Budget Responsibility this is the total UK government income and spending forecast for the year 2024/25, and next year will presumably be much the same:
