Baroness Sugg said she believes the decision is "fundamentally wrong".

UK borrowing is forecast to reach £394 billion this year, equivalent to 19% of GDP.

He also announced a pay freeze for almost all public sector workers, and abandoned a Conservative manifesto commitment to fund the foreign aid budget to 0.5% of GDP.
