Beautiful, informative chart. What's seldom observed is how impressive Brown's recovery was on.ft.com/4agcKdZ Also, in 97 the main three parties were 93%+ of the vote. Tories didn't face this two sided squeeze

NEW: America is a rich country. Britain is a poor country with one wealthy region. People love to compare the UK to Mississippi, but it’s far more informative to look at UK subnationally, too. London ranks fairly well, the rest of the country does not 👉 ft.com/content/e5c741…

The upshot, when you look at NET WELFARE is that younger generations are putting in more and getting out less than their elders. Considerably less. Someone born in 1996 can expect less than half of someone born in 1967. h/t @duncanrobinson for this @resfoundation nugget

in light of the astonishing stagnation of real wages and productivity, evoking narratives of decline is contemporary Britain is an exercise in nostalgia. This is like nothing we have ever seen before. Check out Chartbook #184 and sign up (for free!) adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-18…

This chart is amazing. After the calamity of Trussonomics, expected BoE interest rates soon fell back. Equivalent mortgage rates shot up like a rocket but have fallen like a feather …leaving households still at the sharp end of the moron premium

England fans didn’t embrace the #QatarWorldCup with their usual enthusiasm. ‘Three Lions’ was hardly played on match days, and beer sales were lower than landlords would have hoped. TV ratings remained strong, however, so FIFA still benefits regardless.
