Yes but there’s a lot of arguing to do within each of those categories.
Defence needs to be on the list. That’s the main one. Policing, etc.
IMO (and many will disagree) I think defense has plenty. We aren't a super power anymore or a world player. At much as some of the brexit voters will protest.
Defense certainly needs a rethink. Less people (ie troops) and more technology/intelligence.
Everything else needs cash. From roads, to nhs, to pensions, to care etc etc.
Councils are to the point of having to turn down the lights FFS to save money. There isn't much left. And we are facing that now with huge CT rises.
He taketh my money from CT an give with NI.
I don't see any long term solutions. Can't afford to bring essentials into the public domain. Can't tap the average Joe anymore without hurting the economy. Can't force councils to sell assets for the next year, only to be hurt the following.
As we've banged on about for ages, without tapping other income it's just going to get worse
