Jim Power: Facing into a war over wages

Following the presentation of Budget 2017 I had a very empty feeling and was quite critical of the latest fiscal offering.

I concluded that ‘new politics’ doesn’t quite float my boat and, in fact, gave me a sinking feeling.

Following more than a week on which to reflect and with the benefit of hindsight, I have concluded that I didn’t do justice to the budget in its immediate aftermath.
