Abstract

Rachel Reeves’ Spring Statement seems to be a continuity of the Treasury’s fiscal conservatism, guided by a reaction to short-term economic projections, argue Nathan Critch, Darcy Luke, David Richards and Sam Warner. If Labour is to avoid being buffeted by events, it will need to develop of longer-term vision beyond narrow “missions” and “milestones”.
