All incredibly stupid moves - if you are going to spend for “security” you can’t cut taxes. Truss Rod and her African deserves to get punished for such fiscal idiocy.
You need to have the ability to borrow during a crisis, we have a crisis. Therefore we need to increase borrowing until the crisis goes, but in the meantime, we also need to stimulate growth by cutting taxes on the basis that tax cuts will pay for themselves by encouraging growth. Letting old people freeze to death by refusing to borrow more to subsidise energy crisis will lead to an electoral revolt and a massive Labour majority at the next election in 2024. Then you will get socialism, along with open borders and more wokeness.
