Chancellor refuses to promise welfare bill cut before election

Original: Friday News Roundup in Bankrupt Britain • Chancellor won't promise the benefits bill falls before the election • Savers

A Friday news roundup circulating in Britain lists a series of grim fiscal headlines: the Chancellor has declined to promise the benefits bill will fall before the election, savers and landlords face a 2p tax hike, the tax burden has hit a record 38.6% of GDP, national debt has reached £3 trillion, and the past decade marked the worst for household income growth on record. The roundup is being shared as a snapshot of the country's worsening public finances and cost-of-living pressures.

Why now: The combination of record tax burden, rising debt and tax rises on savers has sparked debate over the government's economic management ahead of the election.
