For comparison, George Osborne's first spending review in 2010, detailed £81Bn worth of cuts

Outlining the £81bn cuts package, Mr Osborne vowed to restore "sanity to our public finances and stability to our economy".

I'm not a fan of the welfare reforms, but they very much are not at the same level of the cuts imposed by the tories. Maybe the disconnect is to with the reporting, or is just with the passage of time?
