This is what makes the current political situation so frustrating.  Reading this week’s editorial in The Spectator, it is clear that the right haven’t got anything coherent or of any interest to say on the economy. The genius who wrote this rejects calls for fairer taxes to revive the public finances.  The alternative: cut government waste and cut taxes on business.  That tiresome old guff won’t win us a sustainable economic revival and, under normal circumstances, it shouldn’t win any votes.
