Britain’s national debt is estimated to have passed £3 trillion for the first time. | £3TRILLION Debt Could KILL Britain

The TaxPayers’ Alliance calculated the figure using government borrowing data and forecasts.

The latest official figures showed debt had already reached £2.99 trillion by the end of June. That was £122 billion higher than a year earlier and equal to around 95% of the UK’s annual economy.

The sharp increase has been linked to Covid spending, energy-bill support and higher interest rates.

Britain is expected to spend more than £110 billion on debt interest this year. Campaigners have warned that growing debt leaves less money available for public services and passes a larger financial burden to future generations.

The next official debt figures will be published by the Office for National Statistics on 21 August.
