Britain is Bust: The coming sovereign debt crisis and what it will mean for you
Formats & Editions
What if the fiasco of the 2022 mini budget was just a rehearsal for something much bigger? It is now costing the British government well over 100 billion a year just to pay the interest on its borrowings - more than it spends on either education or defence and around two thirds of what it spends on health. The government is running a deficit of 150 billion this year - a sum which will be added to the national debt and will require even more to be spent on debt interest in coming years.
Ross Clark argues that a fiscal crisis will profoundly change the political landscape in Britain. Ideas which might seem unpopular now - such as a small and efficient state - will have to be enacted then. The political prize will fall to whoever, or whichever party, can prepare itself for the coming disaster.
