Therese Coffey fails to say how government will pay for ‘£60bn black hole’ laid out by IFS
Therese Coffey failed to lay out any government plans for how it will pay for a £60bn “black hole” identified by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) following the mini-budget.
The IFS has warned that the chancellor must find millions in spending cuts “to stabilise debt as a fraction of national income in 2026-7.”
