This is one of the few articles that seems to do a good job of summarizing why the UK is in its position. It never solved its creeping energy costs, it didn't build enough housing, then it gambled (and lost) on austerity and Brexit, which makes digging itself out of the hole more difficult. But what really hurts is this: the UK knows exactly what ails it but all solutions are politically untenable.
