The Tories are “Levelling Up” by making 90,000 staff unemployed

More than 90,000 civil servants are likely to lose their jobs in an attempt by Boris Johnson to find money to ease the cost of living crisis. The prime minister is understood to have tasked the cabinet with cutting staff by a fifth, telling them every bit of cash saved on government spending could be better used elsewhere. Meanwhile, oil companies are making record profits year on year and passing increase costs on to the consumers, yet the Tories have no interest in taxing this income.
