I'd love to be proved wrong about this government, and it is better than what went before, but...
So far we have seen a self chosen set of fiancial constraints with contradictory messaging. I suspect that the minset that can finesse the election by concentrating ruthlesly on marginal seats is also at play in government; this could explain why you abolish a univeral benefit portraying it as a hard choice instead of just making it unavailable to higher rate tax payers? Why else would you raise taxes in a way that deflates the economy (Employers NI) instead of raising personal allowances at the same time as increasing higher rate taxes balaned in such a way that the necessary £20bn is raised? Why else would you cut aid to increase defence when soft power is needed to compliment hard power? Why else is necessary for a backbencher to use a Private Member's Bill to get renationalisation of water on the agenda (Clive Lewis - support him). The water companies gearing is through the roof to the extent that they would go bust if the regulator (chaired by an ex Water Company executive) didn't up their borrowing limits. Why is it OK for Water Companies be hock but the government isnt allowed to borrow? What about the 2 child limit? What about social care? Why so much outsourcing to companies that have failed? Why bend the knee to Trump when our interests and trade lie with Europe?
There are vast numbers of people in the country who want more dynamism and bravery, they just don't live in margial seats - see War and Class in the notes. No wonder levels of trust are so low and why disillusion can be exploited by Reform.
