Amid deepening debt and an onslaught by the president-elect, Labour must calm the markets, then think big economically

    If your economy is in chaos, you’ll quickly find yourself unable to care for society.

    Healthcare, pensions, other benefits, infrastructure, schooling, law enforcement, fire services… the list goes on.

    And I’m not sure what you mean by continue to prioritise economy. The economy hasn’t been prioritised in a long while. Brexit, covid handling, slashing infrastructure spending, etc have been awful for the economy.

    The only way out of the mess we’re in is to make meaningful steps in improving the economy.
