...apparently.

does the term used to describe the policy accurately represent a responsible attitude to matters fiscal for the UK?

//Shadow education secretary Angela Rayner told The Spectator that Britain was at a point when it needs "real investment" in its future //

With Labour's promise to hit businesses with high taxes where does she suppose this investment that she's so eager to spend is coming from?

good ole layba, tax and spend!

Labour Economic Policy - "$H1T And Bust".....

Just like it's always been.

Actually I thought that more investment was the Conservatives stated policy.
They have signalled an end to austerity, and committed to infrastructure projects (ie more investment).

It is almost embarrassing how dim some on the Conservative ranks are.

matters fiscal or faecal?

[Jackdaw33]

There's no 'or' about it. Labour economic policy is $h1t and then we go bust.

[Gromit]

// Britain at its best is a country that invests in the future. For centuries we have been pioneers in infrastructure. We invested in roads, railways and housing to help drive our economy forward, share prosperity around the country and make sure our people could compete in the world.
We’ve focussed the Government’s capital spending on infrastructure, taken steps to stimulate private investment and unblocked delivery problems. But now we need a long-term strategic plan to deal with these challenges over the next decade.
This is what the UK needs – a strategic, long term plan. It’s a plan to build, repair and renew our key infrastructure.
And it’s a plan we hope the whole country can get behind. //

That is exactly what Rayner is saying, but it was not written by Labour. That is from the Conservative Government’s own Treasury Report from No.11.

I wish they would stop calling public spending 'investment' to make it sound as though it's worthwhile.. It's not it's spending. If I go shopping I don't call it investment, it's spending pure and simple.
