Good morning.
If the past 12 years have achieved anything, it’s the end of “boom and bust” economics. Now the UK has the reassuring stability of a constant bust. The country is hurtling into its second recession in two years, much of the public sector seems to be voting for strike action and poverty is on the rise. A day does not seem to go by without another headline outlining just how much more expensive it is to live than it was yesterday. The chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, has warned that there is a tough road ahead, stating that everyone will be paying more tax after the autumn budget and public services will face even more cuts, including the NHS, even though Hunt himself has admitted that the health service is on the brink of collapse.
