Hugely respect Chris Giles as I do - and the article overall is indeed terrific (and it’s deeply unfair I’m picking on him, etc.), this kind of impartiality formulation is a real bugbear of mine: the left will say this; the right will say this. Well then: in this case the left is right.

Screenshot of a section of an FT article on the budget by Chris Giles: “The left will describe the next moves as fixing this inheritance, the right will say it's Labour profligacy, but the result is the same: the trade offs are more difficult than either admitted during the election.”
