Weekly Survey: Labour and the economy

have your say ll (long)

Ahead of this week’s Tory Budget, Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell revealed a ‘Fiscal Credibility Rule’ that every policy in a Labour Government would have to adhere to.

He said that the party would be committed to eliminating the deficit, and would not borrow to fund day-to-day government spending – but borrowing would be an option for investment into capital projects.

Do you think Labour are moving in the right direction in the economy? Is the Fiscal Credibility Rule a good idea?

Let us know.

Our survey will be open until noon on Thursday. You can vote here.
