Description

The Office for Budget Responsibility warns of a potential explosion in Britains national debt, projecting it could exceed two hundred seventy percent of the countrys economic output by the two thousand seventies under current spending plans.

Debt interest payments remain high, and the recent budget is expected to increase borrowing.
