Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, has set a target of achieving at least 2.5% economic growth if his party wins the upcoming July 4 general election. This goal has been met with both support and skepticism, with some questioning the feasibility of such a target.
The Economist endorses Labour. This was by no means a foregone conclusion and speaks to Starmer's reassurances on the economy. I never think these endorsements make the slightest difference, particularly not to this type of reader. But it's a good read on its own terms. https://t.co/xKOM2I1kSs

The motif of Labour’s manifesto and entire election campaign is that nothing is possible without growing the economy and - in Keir Starmer’s words - “wealth creation”. But does it have a credible plan to end the UK’s 16 years of stagnation? Steph and I explore this with Labour’s…
This is a coup because Labour has dodged all questions about economic growth targets so far. If GDP grows by 2.5% a year in the next parliament then the funding problems Starmer calls “defeatist”disappear. But no one thinks it will and we don’t know what he’ll do if it doesn’t. https://t.co/yOlUxznhAi
