By the time the Conservatives stumbled out of power, they had left behind a £2 billion hole in the public finances (according to Treasury).

The question that echoes across council estates, hospital wards, and shuttered libraries is simple: Where did the ‘cut’ money go?

What happened to the billions d from slashing welfare, cutting social care, squeezing local government, and selling off public assets?

The supposed savings never materialised into public good.

Instead, austerity became a blunt instrument—austerity not for reforms, but for erosion.

Schools deteriorated, the NHS teetered, and inequality widened.

The Conservative promise of a leaner, more efficient state turned out to be a slow dismantling of the social contract.

Then came Brexit, wrapped in the red, white, and blue of nationalist pride and fronted by the infamous promise of £350 million a week for the NHS.

Britain voted to leave.

The bus drove off.

The money never came.

Instead, we inherited supply chain chaos, weakened trade, and fractured diplomatic ties.
