'Labour will try to blame the Tories for tough spending decisions' 📰 In this recent The Guardian article Professor Jane Green comments: “Reputation on the economy tends to last for a very long time. Once a party has lost it because of an economic competence shock, they do not typically regain it until the other party suffers their own economic competence shock. …In other words, the Tories will recover their reputation on the economy if and only if the Labour government is seen to have done something massively wrong.” https://ow.ly/aEtL50SJrtx
