If there was a General Election now, I suppose my main concern is how Labour would sort out the total fuck up of the last 12 years of Tory rule without having, by necessity, to fuck it up further for future generations through increased national debt.
We’re living in a constitutional crisis
This is the moment to be asking the big questions about the future of our democracy

Five days in broken Britain.

I took the weekend off writing. I deliberately wanted a break from commenting on the crisis that I think is coming. Having done so, and having done some other things as well as watching a little politics, I come back even more worried. A thread….
