Agree with everything said here. Only time will tell how effective these policy decisions are. One thing we don’t have or have ever had is some huge contingency fund/plans. I feel the UK is a poorer place after continuous economic decline because we have not built robust enough systems/practices - that can last to generate benefits for the longer term and that can also be sustained over time. Yet we pay so much money in wages within the nhs and other civil services - pay them for the sake of paying them rather delivering key outputs 😂
