My point is exactly that, cutting spending isn’t the answer, reducing wasteful spending and improving financial management is. They are not the same. -
I would also suggest if we all care about growth and investment as we claim, we should be looking to rejoin single market and customs union - if not reversing Brexit in its entirety Otherwise we are all cake and eat it merchants -

We do need growth and investment. But cutting spending, is the opposite of investment - degrading transport, increasing waiting lists, etc. The analogy of government spending as a household budget is a very poor one. Government financial management is probably poor, but every single prospective government says they'll find billions in efficiencies and then fail to find them. I don't believe there is as much waste as people think. We need to tax unproductive assets, raising money to invest in public services / paying down debt, (or else encouraging people to move their money in to productive investments).
