The Government's Plan to Make Things Worse

The government has two plans to make things worse. The first is a possible trade war with the e u, which David frost seems to be suggesting is one of the good kinds of wars. And the second is boris johnson's triumphant announcement that he is going to lay off 91 thousand i servants. It does feel genuinely extraordinary to watch the johnson administration work so committedly against this organic form of levelling up. Yet in one swift and elegant way, remote working is the market actually beginning to deliver their policy for them by allowing people to draw metropolis salaries, but physically locate themselves in less affluent regions for at least some of the working week. What's not to embrace?
