Politics is about choices - and the government is choosing to inflict pain and poverty across the country.

Norway isn’t rich because of welfare. It’s rich because of productive industries, capital accumulation, and markets that generate surplus. The welfare state spends that surplus. Wealth is created first. Then it’s redistributed. So the claim flips cause and effect. Social programs don’t create the wealth they rely on. They depend on it.

A huge betrayal. Won't lower bills. Won't give us more energy security. Won't insulate from price shocks. And sends a clear message to the world that we are backing new oil and gas drilling.

Excellent news on Rosebank and Jackdaw. Let's crack on. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
