Nowhere in the paper you link does it imply that the EU imposed austerity policies on the UK.

The Tories are the only ones responsible for the fiscal policies adopted after the recession.

The EU imposed policy on all EU members. I've listed them, perhaps you should acknowledge that there were EU wide policies?

What do you think happens when you put austerity measures in a single market, more or less economic activity?

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
