LONDON - Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt vowed to spend billions of pounds on public services, infrastructure and tax cuts on Sunday as the two men battling to become prime minister pitched themselves as the best candidate to take on the opposition Labour Party.
“Believe me there is cash now available,” Johnson told Sky News. “ I’m prepared to borrow to finance certain great objectives but overall we will keep fiscal responsibility.” Asked how he would face the owners and employees of small companies put at jeopardy by such a decision, Hunt said democracy must come first.
With four months until Britain’s next deadline to leave the EU, the two men also sought to show they had advanced plans for how they would handle Britain’s departure.
