Abstract
Tax cuts during a pre-election Budget make party-political sense. They ensure some electoral support and create constraints that a new government will find hard to overturn. Tony Blair and Gordon Brown faced a similar predicament during their first term in government. But the economic and geopolitical situation in 2024 is much worse than in 1997, warns Tony Hockley.
