Déjà-lu is a feeling that Spectator subscribers become
familiar with. Part of the reason for subscribing (which you can now do from £12, including free iPad access) is to get ahead of the
competition – and read today what the newspapers will be saying tomorrow. We’re delighted that the cover story of Thursday’s edition, by Allister Heath, is the main OpEd slot in the
Daily Mail today – and with good
reason. All of the focus has been on the cuts, 500,000 jobs to go etc. As CoffeeHousers know, jobs are not expected to be the issue over the next few years: the same forecasts suggest 1.5m jobs will be created. (This 3-1 ratio may sound optimistic, but it is what
happened under Major.)
Heath points to what will cause the coalition problems: the soaring cost of living.
