Phillip Stephens (FT) on our current plight:

'The state does not have all the answers. And the #market has a pivotal place in the efficient allocation of resources. But a fundamental shift of mindset is needed.... Britain has come full circle. It is once again the sick man of Europe; it’s no accident that Europe’s more successful economies have chosen not to privatise their #water industries. Blowing up the economic relationship with the EU through Brexit has accelerated our decline'!

Yup!
