Labour making us poorer this year and next per household
Paul Johnson (@PJTheEconomist) profile picturePaul Johnson@PJTheEconomistOct 28
Mindblowing chart from OBR. In 2029 real household disposable income per person expected to be just 1% higher than in 2019. What an unbelievably awful decade. It used to grow by 2%+ every year, not 1% in 10 years.
