Will the Chancellor's Budget bring austerity to an end? A former advisor to George Osborne, Rupert Harrison thinks not. He tells ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4's The World at One Theresa May's declaration that "austerity is over" has now "raised expectations that cannot be met". He says perhaps a "more modest promise of being able to ease up a bit, showing that prudence had a purpose...would have been a little bit wiser."
