Labour voters are expecting more public investment, but Labour are planning steep cuts in order to meet their fiscal rules. New polling from Invest in Britain shows that only 1 in 50 Labour voters believe they will cut investment if they come to power. ft.com/content/3a6691…

A group of 65 leading economists have warned higher UK public investment “must be a priority for the next government”. Despite the UK's record of low public investment, the economists say the main parties lack “a serious plan to raise public investment”. inews.co.uk/news/politics/…

- only one in 50 voting Labour next week believe the party would cut public investment according to fresh @YouGov poll - which is at odds with what most economists expect - unless of course Labour goes ahead with tax rise eg lifting capital gains tax ft.com/content/3a6691…

Open letter from 65 economists calls for more scrutiny of parties' plans for capital investment They warn 'we are heading into this election without a serious plan to raise public investment... a recipe for further stagnation' Exc @theipaper: inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
