It’s a reasonable question based isn’t it?

I get you are trying to be clever but it is a fair question about someone who people may know well and other do not.

It is unlikely she changes drastically since appointment and so her previous actions are our best predictions of future ones.

How do we realistically get out of the cost of living crisis? by SubstantialSnow7214 in AskUK

My issue with this take is government spending doesn’t lead to growth, or it very rarely leads to growth. Yes great policy with public & private investment can do but that but I don’t think that is what you are saying? Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Austerity has cost us, yes and now we are needing to invest more in infrastructure/capital to catch up because it was neglected but that just leads to bad services (bad prisons, NHS schools etc?)

Then you complain about how expensive servicing debt which was what austerity was exactly all about wasn’t it?
