Should Politicians Always Be Truthful? | UCL Uncovering Politics
This week we ask if politicians should always be truthful? It often feels like many politicians themselves think not. But what does a healthy democracy demand?

Labour has to change tack and stop aping Reform on immigration and public spending before it is too late. Not only is it morally wrong, but also the strategy of growing the economy will also fail to materialise given Trump light policies have major economic costs that undermine any such recovery.

In a week when Australia followed Canada in giving the neo-Trumpist parties an electoral drubbing, it was disappointing to say the least to see the Trump adjacent Reform do so well in the recent local elections and to win the Runcorn by-election.
