Fiscal profligacy has had its day.
I argue in @unherd that "Britain’s addiction to debt has acted less like a springboard and more like a somnambulant pillow".
We have lost our commitment to fiscal orthodoxy and in the end everyone will lose.

How then do we get ourselves out of this self-imposed mess? It won’t be easy, but there’s plenty Healey and Burnham could do.
The working principles for any government should first mean committing, over the course of a parliament, to a level of debt that falls materially relative to GDP.
Next, debt service payments must be sustained at much less than 4% of GDP, with the aim of giving Whitehall more room for fiscal manoeuvre.
