I’m still very far from it, but Jenrick’s economic platform was a pleasant surprise. So, yes, “more” likely to I guess.
Fiscal conservatism combined with supply-side reform.
Simplify and reform the tax code to remove disincentives and cliff edges, but with overall tax levels to fall only once the deficit is eliminated. A sensible, technocratic move that can unlock some growth without additional spend.
Welfare reform, in particular targeted at rolling back the recent and large increase in anxiety-and-related benefit bill. Surprising echos of Gordon Brown.
Adjusting BoE remit: I could take it or leave it, but good to see recommitment to the OBR process. Discussion of superforecasters very interesting.
Energy policy: a major win. We have the highest industrial energy prices in the Western world, going into an economic revolution that will be very energy heavy. We can either be AI-makers or AI-takers. Makers is best. I like net zero, but think how we have done it (through domestic policies) has been absurdly inefficient and politically, not ecologically, motivated.
