Keir Starmer’s manifesto launch: do Labour’s numbers add up?

In its manifesto, Labour has correctly identified a key problem: lack of economic growth. Britain desperately needs more of it to properly fund public services while preventing taxes from soaring rapidly.

But while spotting the problem is easy enough, fixing it is another matter.

How does Labour’s manifesto measure up as a form of treatment for this fiscal malaise? The answer is mostly “umm, err...” because the 130-plus pages are deliberately light on detail, with lots of talk about strategising and new agencies that will be, well, strategising.
