@investinbritain.bsky.social“The OBR was created for an era defined by austerity, and while it can clearly count the upfront cost of investment, it too often misses the long-term value, whether that’s a healthier workforce, better housing or modern transport.” We must reform the OBR to make way for more investment 🙌
Show PostGreat to be part of this coalition calling to review the OBR's brief to unlock much-needed investment. Under-investment in public services is not gender-neutral. Women’s unpaid work compensates for the govt’s failure to invest in social infrastructure, and they pay with their own financial security
Show PostThe OBR has been making us poorer for over a decade. They've underestimated the impact of public spending (cuts) on growth. That has helped lead to a doom loop: Cuts -> Lower growth -> lower revenues -> missed borrowing target -> more cuts etc. www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...
