Just as I sat down to write this, yet another one thumped into my inbox. “£28bn every year … Labour have not changed – their irresponsible spending plans will result in higher taxes and hard-working people paying the price.” Conservative campaign headquarters is hammering out daily attacks on Labour’s £28bn green prosperity plan.
Seeking any gap in the Starmer-Reeves fiscal armour, they like to pretend there’s been no change since the Corbyn campaign’s surprise £58bn extra spend, mid-election campaign. But that’s a rubber sword after their own 13-year failed stewardship – and Liz Truss’s fiscal fiasco.
