So, the bad news. Shock figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that the national debt has now hit a staggering 100 per cent of GDP. For context, this is the first time it’s hit this level since the 1960s. Borrowing for the current financial year is now £64.1 billion, £6 billion more than forecast.

Getting a grip of the national debt should now be a top priority for the government, with future generations set to be hit hard if it follows the big spending philosophy of its predecessors.”
