Thatchers policies.
we are told is that “there is no money”, meaning that support must be withdrawn, that public services must be restricted, and that working people must bear the burden of decisions made to protect wealth.

A truly progressive budget would...
Accept public investment is not a cost but the foundation of prosperity
End the subsidy to banks and tackle the rentier economy
Rebuild public services as the productive heart of society
Design fiscal rules that support full employment and ecological transition

Labour under Reeves has embraced an austerity that dares not speak its name. The cuts may be quieter, the rhetoric softer, & the justification more technocratic, but the outcome is the same a Britain made poorer, lonelier, sicker and more insecure in order to maintain the wealth of a financial elite
