'A tax and spend socialist government with better TikTok videos!' Top economist savages Andy Burnham and calls for spending cuts to calm bond market chaos

Former Bank of England chief economist Andy Haldane has criticised Andy Burnham, claiming he is leading a traditional tax and spend socialist government that simply utilises better TikTok videos. Haldane, who previously advised Burnham, warned that the government's primary weakness is its failure to implement public spending cuts. This critique comes as Haldane suggests such measures are necessary to stabilise bond market chaos and address the perceived fiscal instability currently associated with the administration's economic approach.
