“…'[T]hey got us on tax', Hattersley told the playwright David Hare, 'and I'm determined that should never happen again' (Hare, 1992). The Labour leadership responded by establishing tighter control of spending commitments (Labour Party, 1987) and recruiting the former Treasury official Dan Corry to help make its policies 'hard to cost' (Corry, 2023), but John Smith's careful 1992 'Shadow Budget' did not prevent the Conservatives from bombarding voters with warnings about 'Labour's tax bombshell'.

Michael Jacobs and Andrew Hindmoor’s analysis of ‘Labour, left and right’ is a salutary corrective to ‘electoral-ideological’ accounts of party strategy in Britain, and rightly urges scholars to pay more attention to substantive ‘policy reasoning’. Jacobs and Hindmoor’s account of Labour policy is only partly convincing, however, because it is based on a sharp distinction between left-wing ‘structural reform’ and moderate ‘redistributive’ strategies which is difficult to justify historically, and understates the importance of social policy commitments to Labour’s positioning. This article argues that Labour’s policy trajectory since the 1980s is better understood through a fiscal lens, which reflects the importance of costings debates in UK general election campaigns and of Shadow Chancellors in opposition policy-making. Shifts in Labour’s positioning can thus be explained by looking at the interplay between the party’s economic thought, the leadership’s perception of its electoral needs, and the changing budgetary context.
