@TorstenBell You seem to have forgotten the Labour Government 1997 -2010 inherited budget SURPLUS of 2% and left Government with DEFICIT of 8%. Did you support faster reduction of the Deficit and less spending on COVID and gas support.

What's more, we aren't just talking about cutting the deficit, we have already done so.
The UK is delivering a faster fiscal consolidation than any other G7 economy between 2025 and 2030 (or in the G20, in case you prefer that rather more inclusive grouping). https://t.co/0pXWJK

The steps that have delivered those cuts in borrowing (and indeed NHS waiting lists) have real impacts, I'm not denying that.
But don’t believe anyone who pretends to care about the public finances but opposes every tax rise that cutting waiting lists and borrowing has required.

Looking back a few years, it's clear how comfortable our predecessors were to borrow year-on-year at well above normal levels.
What's happened since? In the last financial year, the UK cut its borrowing by a full 1% of GDP. This year, it's set to fall again. https://t.co/VCcIpfm

Separating fiscal fact from fiction is always important, but all the more so in the unstable world of the 2020s, w/ borrowing costs rising on the back of the Iran conflict (the simple version is Iran conflict = ↑inflation = ↑interest rates, including on government debt).

Under the last government, the UK borrowed more than the G7 average in every one of their 14 years. This year? The UK will borrow less.

Great to hear a shout out to world-leading innovation taking place in Swansea in John Healeys’s first speech as Chancellor.
John is totally right that innovation is crucial to boosting growth and living standards around the UK. https://t.co/15JKMLvHzq

A huge thank you to Margaret and the FND Together group for inviting me along and for the warm welcome.

📖 PUBLICATION DAY
Today a book I've spent 2yrs working on is finally out.
I'll have more to say about it later on, but TRADE WORLD is a brand new story about the hidden underbelly of the modern world.
A sort of companion to Material World. But SO much more.
I hope you like it! h
