Abstract

The Conservatives have a poor economic record, but Labour’s offer lacks boldness and credibility.

It was TS Eliot who famously proclaimed April to be the cruellest month. This description is perhaps a tad unfair – April generally sees fairer weather and lighter nights, and Spring flowers. Yet, for the UK [PT1] economy and its citizens, the cost-of-living crisis and scheduled tax rises means that April 2022 will be especially cruel.
