Is the Government Really Doing Enough to Grow the Economy?

Jim Boulden: The worry will be that this carriage approach rather than the stick, simply doesn't deliver the extra housing that is needed. This government's failure to grow the economy over a decade combined with its inertia in the face of spirling bills means that we are staring down the barrel of something we haven't seen in decades,. A stagnation crisis. It should humble those on the benches opposite who've ignored the lights on our economy. And i think also the idea that you could use your legislative programm and queen's speech for suddenly turn on some magic viol and produce economic growth is again for the birds.
