A potential successor to the UK prime minister is due to deliver remarks, as analysts caution against launching a new round of large-scale fiscal handouts.

According to Jin10, Caxton strategist David Stritch said UK government bond yields have risen sharply since the pandemic, with borrowing costs nearly doubling over just a few years while the government’s fiscal deficit has continued.

Stritch said that under these conditions, the last thing the UK needs is another major program of fiscal subsidies or cash distribution.

He added that the last time the UK government introduced an ambitious plan that lacked funding support and departed from traditional economic policy frameworks, it ended in disaster.

Stritch said it would be wise for Burnham to avoid repeating that outcome.
