Highlights from the latest Spectator | 4 March 2010

The latest issue of the Spectator is out today, and here are my top four features:

1. Britain on the brink.  Allister Heath, the editor of City AM, blogged about his cover story earlier. But the full article really is a must-read: it explains just why hung parliaments don’t work in Britain and why the AAA rating is now a red herring. There is a real risk of Britain following Greece into the vortex.

2. Why do we let South Africans play cricket for England? Peter Oborne cares deeply about cricket – and has written an impassioned piece about what he sees as a  South African invasion of our national side.  Sure, players like Craig Kieswetter and Kevin Pietersen may be brilliant, but they are not British. Why are they allowed to play in the first place?

3. Cameron needs to remain in “crisis mode”.
