A Rational, Participatory Budget Process

Why the UK budget system is broken — and how to fix it

Rachel Reeves just gave us a masterclass in how NOT to run an economy. We got leaks, U-turns, political theatre, but almost no real economic planning.

In this video, I explain what’s gone wrong and how we could get a rational budget delivering:

• Open and democratic decision-making
• Good accounting & proper economic forecasting
• Fair taxes that work in practice
• A focus on environmental limits & real outcomes

We deserve better than this.
