It's the economy stupid. Will the Labour government deliver the growth we need? From Brendan Chilton

Sir Keir Starmer’s serious and sombre address to the nation on the coming Budget demonstrated how far the Labour Party has changed.

The British economy has effectively endured 14 years of stagnation and years of austerity under the Coalition and then Conservative governments did little to stimulate the economy. As Labour seeks to go for growth it must focus on making the UK an investment led economy with a competitive tax environment and not repeating the mistakes of the past.
