The national debt has just fallen by £1.5 trillion
https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/11/27/the-national-debt-has-just-fallen-by-1-5-trillion/ According to the government’s own accounts to March 223, which have just been published, the national debt of the UK fell by £1.5 trillion during that year - and is now much lower than the government claims.
