The New York Times doesn't mince its words, Britain!
Britain Is Heading Into a Nightmarish Winter nyti.ms/3zYeCos

Instead of higher wages, the British public has so far encountered only higher prices.Inflation has risen faster than at any point since 1997 & the climbing price of gas globally is placing further strain on people’s lives,making energy more expensive than anywhere else in Europe

Whereas other governments, in Spain & Italy, have ensured that struggling families are protected from rising costs, the Conservatives have offered no such clemency. 3M households in Britain already live in fuel poverty, made to choose between heating and eating in the winter.

Mr. Johnson nonetheless claims to have given British Conservatism a kinder face. He speaks rousingly of “leveling up” and “turbocharging” left-behind communities. But the behavior of his government suggests otherwise
