"Something strange is happening to British politics. The super-rich are
calling for higher taxes on their wealth – and 64% of Conservative voters
agree. Polls show that
only 12% of people want to go back to the “old normal”, and there is no appetite for further austerity. Even the Conservatives are borrowing Roosevelt’s clothes, dismissing the idea of spending constraints as “
dogma” by which they are “unencumbered”. Austerity politics seems to be well and truly dead.
The only people who seem to have missed the memo are the Labour party."
