Abstract
This brief postscript offers some reflections on how the narrative strands and techniques articulated in this book are being reworked and consolidated in post-Coalition, post-Brexit Britain. It centres on the first policy pronouncements of Prime Minister Theresa May and considers how, in the name of change, she reinstates many of the fundamental terms of engagement of the austerity narratives this book seeks to understand and challenge.
