My hot #Budget2024 take: Investing, not cutting, is the key to boosting public sector productivity.
Chancellor is using technology to justify budget cuts. Technology can be a valuable tool, but it's no substitute for skilled and experienced workers.
Chancellor acknowledges that unemployed people take out loans to help them get into work. His offer is to increase their repayment period from 12-24 months – a sticking plaster – using individual indebtedness to plug holes in our social safety net is unsustainable
