Has any commentator offered a good critique of why more quantitative easing couldn't be done assuming that the proceeds were used for investment eg housebuilding and other infrastructure investments? Many economists seem to be predicting that growth will only be around 1.5% over the coming...

With Labour losing Scotland, is being the major party in a coalition its only way to government now? If so, then I'd have thought that all of them would have something to say although it only seems to be Corbyn who's prepared to make any sort of policy commitments. Junk
