If you read the papers this week, you’d know that Starmer has no chance of high growth unless he dismantles the red tape, civil servants and lawyers who are throttling growth. We are doomed to endless low productivity.

The title of the article is "Keir Starmer should be Britain's next Prime Minister - Why labour should form the next government".

Fairly clear endorsement.

So why shouldn’t he dismantle those things? If he gets the kind of majority the polls are predicting he can do anything he likes.

omg you think a wet like Starmer if going to drive change? The only change he’ll effect is self-id and more irregular migration.

They said that about Attlee. Not self id, obviously!

Am I the only one here who thinks that this is sending a pretty clear message between the City of London and Labour? It is a huge signal on public private finances; and there will be more.

Very positive imo

If the telegraph said it would you believe it ? 😂
Look up The Economist on t’internet and most say it’s represents classical social and economic liberalism. Supported Thatcher and Reagan. Free market as they come.

Omg what’s the Tory record on Taxation and immigration ? Not just what they say by the way, what they’ve done ?

No, you are not the only one.

The Economist does.

"Labour must form Britain's next government"

And they say if the magazine had a vote they would vote Labour.

I was a subscriber at the time of the Tory mini-budget when interest rates surged and the pension system needed a £65billion bailout to prevent our pension funds collapsing.

I remember Farage and the Daily Mail being pleased with it being so "Conservative".
