Independent economist Damian Pudner offers a crisp, clear-eyed warning from the heart of Britain’s fiscal landscape. As Chancellor Rachel Reeves sets out her vision for a re-energised economy, the real question remains: how will we pay for the modern British state?
Pudner traces the quiet stirrings of market unease—from rising gilt yields to the spectre of fiscal dominance—and explains why Britain’s debt trajectory is sounding alarms. With the tax burden at a 70-year high and productivity stagnating, he makes a practical case for sharper, leaner government over ever-higher spending.
