POLL OF THE DAY: Can any party revive Britain’s sluggish economy? – VOTE NOW

Keir Starmer is set to liken Nigel Farage’s economic policies to Liz Truss in a speech later today.

The Prime Minister is expected to slam Reform UK’s economic policies, claiming Farage plans to use family finances as a gambling chip and risked sparking an “economic meltdown.”

As he meets workers at a manufacturing business in the North West, the Prime Minister will urge the public to reject Reform UK’s calls “to use family finances as a gambling chip through Liz Truss-style unfunded tax cuts which could spark an economic meltdown”.

The Labour Party claims that the pledges could send mortgages, rents and bills surging, comparing the potential effects to Liz Truss’s 2022 mini-budget.

The PM will also point to the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) which suggested yesterday that one of Farage’s pledges will create a blackhole of up to £80billion.

With that in mind, can any party revive Britain’s sluggish economy? Have your say by voting in the poll below.
