Is Britain a poor country?

Are we the sick man of Europe? We’ve got all the symptoms: broken economy, falling living standards, we could go on. Does anyone have the remedy to get us back up and running again? Plus, it’s nearly the bank holiday, so let’s look on the bright side. The panel discusses who in politics they admire. And in the extra bit for subscribers, what’s the BEST summer you’ve ever had? That’s Oh God, What Now? With guest We Are History’s John O’farrell. “It’s not just the poor who are poorer, it’s the middle class as well.” – Ros Taylor. “People are going to have huge expectations for change, and the money just isn’t there for Labour.” – John O’Farrell. “I have seen lots of people who I thought were sensible go further and further to extreme views because they are pushed that way.” – John O’Farrell. “George Orwell could’ve been a real dick on Twitter.” – Dorian Lynskey.
