The Labour Budget Analysis

Labour's first budget under new leadership reflects a significant ideological shift back to traditional practices reminiscent of the 1970s. The party, once perceived as pro-business under Tony Blair, now appears to be reassessing its stance towards economic growth and public spending. Notably, Keir Starmer’s earlier commitment to prioritize economic growth is being overshadowed by a focus on funding public services first, which risks diminishing potential economic expansion. This pivot suggests a fundamental transformation in Labour's economic strategy, emphasizing public sector investment over private sector growth.
