The British political system is failing.
From the castration of state capacity to the shortage of human capital in our political parties, not much is working. The country and its people are in debt. Your wage is worth less.
The last time housing was this expensive, cars hadn’t been invented. 50 years ago, the most common living arrangement for young men was with their spouse, now it’s with their parents.
The social contract is broken and if people aren’t apathetic, they're angry.
That’s why we’re here. Daily Politics from the New Statesman is your can’t-miss guide to the inside view of politics.
Every day, Anoosh Chakelian and Oli Dugmore speak to New Statesman reporters, writers and experts to help you understand what’s really going on in Westminster and beyond.
Are the radical right unbeatable?
Why is Keir Starmer failing?
What’s the left going to do? About any of it...
