Sadiq Khan | "We face a catastrophic threat to jobs and growth from either a bad or no-deal Brexit"
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said that Theresa May billed the budget as the end of austerity but "that couldn’t be further from the truth".
According to Mr Khan "the budget confirms that the Government is pressing ahead with the huge cuts that have caused so much damage to London at the same time as we face a catastrophic threat to jobs and growth from either a bad or no-deal Brexit.
"The Government has forced the Met police to make £1 billion of savings since 2010 and warnings – from the Home Affairs select committee to senior police officers - that we desperately needed an increase in the police budget today have been ignored.
"Neither is there any investment in youth services to create more opportunities for the next generation."
