Britain has had its fill of Tory cuts, poll finds
Yougov survey also discovers voters want to to see our battered public services restored

Voters have rejected Tory plans for permanent austerity and expect to see funding for stretched public services restored as the economy grows, a Yougov poll showed yesterday.

Research commissioned by the TUC showed 56 per cent of people "want to see most or all of the services that have been cut restored," eclipsing the 29 per cent of people who insisted that they "want to see most or all of the cuts retained."

Labour voters were the most keen to see Britain's social fabric patched up after suffering greatly under the Con-Dem knife.
