As the UK heads into its deepest ever recession following Covid-19, Paul Johnson, director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, asks whether lessons can learned from 10 years of austerity. In this second episode of the Austerity Audit he analyses two areas which were hit more severely than most - local government and it's provision of social care and the Ministry of Justice. He travels to Liverpool which was particularly badly hit after then chancellor George Osborne announced swingeing cuts following the banking crisis. And he hears from those affected by the cuts to prison budgets and the probation service.
