The state is spending more per person than at any time outside the pandemic. Yet a third of us now use private dentists, record numbers have private health insurance, and nearly a third of pupils have had a tutor.

The UK is drifting into an equilibrium with EU continental tax levels with nowhere near the same service provisions, for no reason whatsoever other than incompetence and lack of courage. Some countries face decline by institutional design, in the UK it's a political choice.

The Spectator is a tiny outfit, still with an editorial staff smaller than a student newspaper.
To pull off a same-day Budget briefing of this quality - and televise it, complete with graphs - is an astonishing testimony to the quality of its people.
