Talk of British declinism may be unhelpful politically but it is our economic reality

Our Director of Communications, Connor Axiotes, on the day of the Chancellor’s Growth Speech in the Telegraph:

“Talk of British declinism may be unhelpful politically but it is our economic reality. We have expensive, inefficient public services funded by record high taxation, a chronic undersupply of housing, and a productivity crisis.

“The Chancellor was right when he said a decade of black swan events have impeded British economic progress. But there are measures which are in our control and policy changes can improve our lot.

“This government needs to go further by using the levers at their disposal to turn British declinism around: tackling childcare costs, building houses, lowering the tax burden and increasing private investment in the UK.”
