George Osborne finally hits an economic target

From BBC News:

David Cameron and George Osborne have hailed their austerity plan after the former chancellor's deficit reduction target was finally met. 

The day-to-day deficit has been eliminated two years later than Mr Osborne wanted when he set it in 2010. 

Mr Osborne tweeted: "We got there in the end - a remarkable national effort." Mr Cameron replied: "It was the right thing to do."
