Listening to politicians, you would think the economy was everything. As the Chair of the Parliamentary Group for Wellbeing Economics, I’m well-aware the evidence proves relationships, meaningful work, and physical activity improve quality of life far more than material wealth. Yet, while this is useful to know to prioritise public expenditure and taking decisions for our own lives, the reality is you can’t do much without money.

Come the May elections, Keir Starmer will be gone. I suspect even in Number 10 there are few people who doubt this now. While the Mandelson Scandal will prove to be the final nail in his political coffin, I’m afraid that it is only a symptom of the real issue: poor political judgement. The public has seen this clearly in the form of regular u-turns and the constant ditching of policies first leaked to the press, while incoherent party management has alienated the Prime Minister’s natural supporters.
