An Extra Year Of Austerity Foreseen For Britain
Alongside the atement on Wednesday, the Chancellor's Autumn Statement on Wednesday, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR - the independent fiscal watchdog) are set to tell George Osborne that the Government's efforts to reduce borrowing are in danger.
The OBR are expected to warn this week that the Chancellor looks set to miss his target for bringing down Britain's debt mountain; raising the prospect of more austerity measures.

As if things aren't bad enough! The outcome being an extra year of hardship is foreseen for British citizens .
