    It was only called austerity in contrast to the previous vaguely social-democratic settlement. After a decade or two, it’s just the way things are. The Tories themselves announced the end of austerity a few years ago, without changing a single policy.

    Austerity never ended.

    He’s just going to keep public services underfunded and carry on the Tories legacy of austerity under the banner of “economic stability”. Starmer is a neoliberal.
