Archbishop criticises PM over ‘radical cuts nobody voted for’

BRITAIN’S most senior church leader accused the coalition government of causing widespread anxiety over austerity policies that it had not spelled out to voters before last year’s election.

Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, made the comments in a New Statesman article this week.

Prime Minister David Cameron said the head of the Church of England was free to speak out but added that he profoundly disagreed with his comments.
