Austerity plans - can we afford not to keep cutting?

Can we afford not to keep cutting? The Prime Minister says the austerity measures have to stay - but how much more can we take?

Social workers say lives are at risk, the police warn it can't take any more cuts - but the Prime Minister says he's not for changing his mind - he says the austerity measures HAVE to stay - even though we are ALL feeling the squeeze. But how much more can we take?  Is axing austerity a "cop out?" - or should we start spending NOW and protect the services we've got?

CAN WE AFFORD NOT TO KEEP CUTTING?
