BORIS JOHNSON: Hapless Starmer and Reeves are doing for Britain's economy what Harold Shipman did for gerontology. But at least young voters are learning about the Doom Loop of Socialism
Daily MailI have been struggling all morning to find reasons to be cheerful. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves are the very people who are meant to be promoting growth, but they are in fact destroying it, writes Boris Johnson These Labour goons have a vast majority. Many young people don't even remember Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, let alone the old Labour addiction to tax and spend. Starmer and Reeves are doing for the UK economy what serial killer Harold Shipman, pictured, did for gerontology in Manchester If you increase a company's wage bill, they will have to find the money from somewhere – usually higher prices. And if inflation goes up, then the Bank of England has to keep interest rates up, and that in turn hits business confidence and investment, which hits jobs and growth, which hits tax yields.
