You're dealing with a single central issue, which is that the British state has stopped working.
that the British state is suffering from autoimmune disease.
Its machinery is eating and consuming itself.
And it seems to me this is the great divide in politics.
If you look at what's going on on the left, there's an extraordinary blindness.
What on earth is Burnhamism?
Well, it seems to be faintly reheated.
Reevesism, you know, do you remember?
She's Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Well, shall I explain it?
Because Rachel Rees is only capable of copying, it's a reheated version of what Janet Yellen did in America.
So it's called securonomics here or bidenomics there.
And it was actually Jason Cowley of the former The New Statesman who summarized it brilliantly.
What we have on this side of the Atlantic is bidenomics without the bucks.
In other words, you can't borrow enough money to do it.
It's traditional Keynesianism, lightly disguised as investment in public services, this, that, and the other.
And you can just about make it work, as happened in America with Biden, if you borrow enough, but you send inflation through the roof, which is why America's had much higher and astonishing levels of inflation.
But here, the only way we can do it is by financing it through borrowing.
So what you're doing is you are literally trying to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, you know.
And as many of us discovered when we were about two years old, Rachel Reid is a very, very slow learner.
