The prime minister has actually pledged his government will “not return to the austerity of 10 years earlier” ahead of a speech on Tuesday.
In an interview with the Mail on Sunday, Boris Johnson set out his plans for a post-lockdown economic recovery.
They will include a new taskforce which will look at speeding up the building of medical facilities, schools and roadways.
But Labour has actually accused the government of “pulling the carpet from under” numerous parts of the economy.
The economy shrank by 20.4%in April – the largest regular monthly fall on record.
Amid continued criticism of the way his government has actually managed the pandemic, the PM told the paper that ministers will be “doubling down on levelling up” – spending on infrastructure in order to “construct our method back to health”.
” If Covid was a lightning flash, we’re about to have the thunderclap of the economic consequences,” he said.
” We’re going to make sure that we have plans to help people whose old tasks are not there any more to get the opportunities they need.”
