This is worrying.👇. Britain's malaise is due to a nightmare mix of factors:. Failure to recover post-2008, a uniquely bad energy policy, anti-growth approach to planning, cost / impact of Covid, + dire long-run demographic trends driving up spending. But easier to blame Brexit.
When did Britain start to go wrong? In @NewStatesman @georgeeaton looks at our polling of when the public think our turn for the worst was. Brexit tops the list, but different voters disagree. Reform voters most likely to pick Blair’s election as putting Britain on wrong track
