How much more international liberal elite can you get than Keynes. Even worse for Paul he founded the Arts Council to put on subsidised lesbian puppet shows for lefty intellectuals

she is not only getting it completely back to front but also directly repudiating the dictum of the great economist John Maynard Keynes – once a guiding light for social democratic parties the world over

I read a book on Keynes, and can't claim I understood all of the economics. But I don't remember "never put taxes up to pay for spending" being one of the big themes. Or "Borrow a load more money when borrowing costs are already 4.5%".

Scandinavians have much lower debt to GDP than the UK. Are they social democratic?
