The unreality of Labour’s rosy picture of an economy that can’t, in fact, pay for our defence

Churchill fought a war having argued for years that Britain was economically and militarily unprepared. Starmer is trying not to fight a war arguing via his Chancellor that never before has so much been promised for defence. For so little return when it matters, it seems. The post The unreality of Labour’s rosy picture of an economy that can’t, in fact, pay for our defence appeared first on Conservative Home.

Mel Stride: Really, is that it? All we got was a surrender statement from a spent Chancellor out of ideas

Realism requires backbone. This government has none. Winter fuel payments: U-turn. Welfare reform: U-turn. The two-child benefit cap: U-turn. Farm taxes, family business taxes, pubs - all U-turns. Whenever pressure mounts, this government folds. The post Mel Stride: Really, is that it? All we got was a surrender statement from a spent Chancellor out of ideas appeared first on Conservative Home.

The Guardian view on Labour’s migration gamble: Denmark is no template | Editorial

Extending settlement waits risks deepening labour shortages while misreading public concern about migration’s economic and demographic realities The home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, is expected this week to press ahead with plans to make it harder for migrants to gain settled status, extending the wait from five to 10 years.

The Guardian view on Rachel Reeves’s spring statement: stability cannot mean sacrificing living standards | Editorial

An energy shock from war in the Gulf will expose the limits of rigid fiscal rules. The real question is who absorbs the loss: the state, firms or households? The war in the Middle East has sent oil and gas prices soaring – and Britain remains deeply exposed to global energy markets. If the shocks persist they will feed directly into household bills, business costs and inflation. On Tuesday, the Office for Budget Responsibility released projections that were finalised before the US-Israeli strike

What will Rachel Reeves’s spring forecast mean for household finances?

The chancellor promised more money in people’s pockets, but the Iran crisis makes steeper inflation a pressing worry Rachel Reeves used her spring statement to insist her economic policies are working and things are looking up for household finances after the cost of living crisis. The chancellor trumpeted that by the next general election “people will be over £1,000 a year better off”. But against the backdrop of war in the Middle East, financial experts warned that the new economic forecasts p

Unemployment set to hit 5.3% this year amid ‘worrying’ rise in young jobless

Time to accept what the fates have to throw at you. It was always going to be a bit of a stretch for Rachel Reeves to maintain she had a brilliant plan and the economy had never been in better health when the figures show a fall in growth and a rise in unemployment. Unless you happen to think those things aren’t so bad after all. To do so three
