Yes, he will, in the same way that Nick Leeson is seen as a dynamic financial reformer.
This is one of the more ludicrous articles I’ve read in a long time.
Take home message: Boris is a venial despot with zero political vision, but that’s what makes him such an asset and a historical figure capable of economic reform.
Can funneling every bit of money possible to your mates and then doing a runner be meaningfully considered “increasing public investment”, I think the word for that is kleptocracy
The UK economy is in a pretty good place right now. Best growth forecasts of the G7 for 2022, bit of inflation (like everyone is suffering) but otherwise all pretty decent.
