I would urge everyone interested in the long term challenges facing Britain today to read Neil O’Brien's latest substack about the confluence of issues that we face as a nation.
Rerspectfully, there is lots that is wrong with Neil's piece. It is very much closing the stable door after the horse has bolted, doesn't highlight the benefits of a multi-cultural society or particularly the contribution made by immigrants, and it doesn't really come up with any answers.
But, crucially, it is possibly the best articulation that you will ever read summarising the challenges we face.
Most importantly it highlights the complexity of those issues and that solving them isn't about a tax change here and a policy change there, but what is needed is a systemic rethink. It shows just how complicated politics is and that now, at this crucial time, it is no place for populist amateurs:
