What is Labour’s real mission?

Keir Starmer must choose whether to prioritise economic growth or lower borrowing.

This is a matter of electoral psychology and Labour should be more self aware. Blair got into power by micromanaging the media, and in govt had to publicly row back. Starmer got power by offering economic credibility as change. But there are other tunes equally necessary to the UK.

Lower borrowing. They think Government borrowing crowds out the private sector.

Both ideally surely? ..
