More evidence that the crisis in the NHS engineered by the Tories is another act of economic self-harm.... having wrecked our external economic relations with Brexit, they undermined our internal (domestic) economic activity by producing a massive health-related expansion in the economically inactive.
This is what the Tories' disaster capitalists chums wanted & got!
[to be clear the NHS crisis should not only be measured by its significant economic impact]

What comes after the end, that's the hardest question, yet it's also a simple one: a new beginning.
“You never think of going on past the dragon, Irena thought. You only think about getting to it. But what happens afterwards?… I have passed the place of the dragon and I can't go back.”
―Ursula K. Le Guin, The Beginning Place

Not sure why Govt.s seem to like 'fiscal rules' (in the way that Rachel Reeves likes them)?
Here's @sjwrenlewis exploring the issue to conclude that no fiscal rules are often better than badly conceived (or deployed) fiscal rules.
In the end fiscal rules are not about convincing financial operators that a Govt. is prudent (these actors already know one way or the other), rather it is often a self-denying ordnance to try to halt policy temptation(s).
In one sense, the deployment of fiscal rules is a classic case of agenda setting power - by getting them to seem like 'common sense' those using/prompting them get to narrow the agenda of possibility in a way that limits political choices that can be seen as sensible or prudent - which SWL hints at, if doesn't make absolutely explicit in these terms

Um die unglaublichen Regenmengen während der regionalen #Klimakatastrophe in Niederösterreich zu veranschaulichen, hier ein paar Zahlen und eine Grafik von der Messung in der Landeshauptstadt Sankt Pölten:
Zwischen 9. und 16. September 2024 fielen 436 Liter Regen pro Quadratmeter.
Normalerweise fallen in einem September 54 Liter.
Das bisherige Monatsmaximum lag bei rund 190 Liter.
436 Liter sind die höchste jemals in einem Monat gemessene Regenmenge an der Station.
