The majority of economists have always agreed that there was another approach the government could have taken, rather than austerity, and we always argued, and we were right, that austerity was a political choice, not an economic necessity. As recently as march, the Party Opposite ploughed on, saying there was no alternative. To look at them how was no alternative. To look at them now suddenly proclaiming an end to austerity after 125,000 excess deaths as a result, after 100 billion taken out of the economy, after the worst decade for wage growth since the 19th century, just because there may be what . An election round the corner. And after all that, after all that, to deliver what is a pathetic sum to spending departments who are on their knees at the moment. Itsjust adding insult to injury. A government not just callous and uncaring, but hypocritical as well. This isnt a government, its a rack

Hello and welcome to political thinking, a conversation with rather than an interrogation of someone who shaped our political thinking about what has shaped theirs. My guest today was told that he has a reading age ofjust eight. His dyslexia was so bad he had to return to school to study in his 20s for the exams that he simply couldnt pass when he was there the first time.
