Boris plans to axe 90,000 civil service jobs to save money for tax cuts
The Metro says Boris Johnson has ordered ministers to cut around 90,000 Civil Service jobs to free up cash for measures to ease the cost-of-living crisis.
The prime minister is understood to have told his cabinet on Thursday that he wants to reduce the government’s workforce by a fifth.
The move could save an estimated £3.5bn, freeing up resources to help ease the cost of living through tax cuts or other measures.
But the FDA civil servants union warned the ‘ill thought out’ proposal would not lead to a more cost-effective government and could have impacts on passport processing, borders and health.
