Berlin is on the brink of relaxing its debt brake’ rule to pave the way for spending on defence and infrastructure.

The EU , too, is at a “watershed moment”, having agreed an 800bn plan allowing member states to ramp up borrowing for their defence spending.

But for Britain , a more old-fashioned approach still prevails with the chancellor insisting that her self-imposed fiscal rules remain “non-negotiable”.
