Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The rapid growth of the UK's debt, which has doubled from £1 trillion in 2010 to £2 trillion in 2020, raises concerns about fiscal stability. During the coalition government, George Osborne attempted to reduce the annual deficit, though the UK has run a deficit every year since 2000/01.
