The UK’s public sector net borrowing rose to £25.6 billion last month, the second-highest April borrowing on record.
It’s 14 percent higher than the Office for Budget Responsibility’s (OBR) estimate (£22.4 billion) and over 85 percent higher than borrowing in the same month last year (£13.7 billion).
