The budget does not address the fundamental problems with our economy (BBC Radio)

“For ordinary households, the budget means more of the same. It does not address the fundamental problems with our economy, which are resulting in falling wages and falling living standards.”

Positive Money executive director Fran Boait talks to Mark Forrest about what the Budget means for ordinary households, whether this is the end of austerity, housing policies, the Government’s failure to meet deficit targets and cut down borrowing, as well as where money could come from for more spending on BBC Radio, 23rd Nov 2017 (from 7:20 PM).

“We have in the UK an economy that essentially runs on households having to go into more debt to make ends meet and on asset price inflation.”
