The Green Party has responded to news Government departments will face yet more cuts [1].
Jonathan Bartley, Green Party co-leader, said:
“The Government is already asking its departments to do the impossible, with demands they do more with less, which is stretching the country to breaking point. By forcing through yet more cuts the Government is creating an ever increasing downward spiral, exacerbating need but removing the means to deal with it.
“The Conservatives are already punishing local authorities for its Government’s own failure, with the crisis facing social care just one example of the damaging impact its budget slashing is having on people who need help and support the most.
“Add into this mix the demands of Brexit and it is almost impossible to see how the country will not be brought to its knees.”
