If you have the time, you could start the day with this long read from the New Yorker's Sam Knight on 14 years of Tory mismanagement of the economy.
There's plenty of detail which will be familiar but its illuminating to see it all presented in one place.
Knight concludes our current leaders are just not up to (re)organising a national politics to respond to, and start to address, the damage the Tories have done.
@ChrisMayLA6 it’s an interesting article that makes many good points, even if a little naive economically. It is how’re an article that is exclusively about England. Britain is used, England is meant.
So I would give it a B+ - good, if patchy effort, must get out more.
@Wen@ChrisMayLA6
Is it though?
I cant get behind the paywall, but I don't Ned to read the article to know The Barnet Formula means cuts to government spending by westminster reduces the funding available to the devolved governments, and the best argument the SNP (and Plaid) have for independance over further devolution, is that UK government shitfuckery inevitably effects the whole of Britain.
I was not aware their were access issues - apologies if the paywall has got in the way... from here it seemed easy to access - I have no subscription or other relationship with the NY to ease my own access....
@ChrisMayLA6
You weren't to know, but for the record I get a "you have reached your maximum number of free articles" message and an invitation to subscribe.
It doesn't say how many that is, or if it resets.
