Listen "Despatch: Labour need a new strategy"
Episode Synopsis
Faced with weak growth, mounting debt and global instability, Britain needed a bold, pro-enterprise Budget. Instead, says James Price, Senior Fellow at the Adam Smith Institute, Rachel Reeves delivered one designed for party management rather than national renewal. In this essay, Price argues that Labour has no credible growth strategy — no serious tax reform, no supply-side agenda, and no appetite to shrink the state. The result, he warns, is an economy trapped in stagnation and a government running out of time to act.Despatch brings you the best of CapX — the sharpest writing from the UK’s most insightful daily newsletter.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.
