<description><![CDATA[As the economic pain intensifies there will be a political price to payFIVE years ago Mervyn King, the newly appointed governor of the Bank of England, gave warning that the "nice" decade would be followed by something less wholesome. Now starting his second term of office this month, Britain's leading central banker looks more prescient than ever. But even he surely did not expect that the "non-inflationary consistently expansionary" era would turn quite this sour.As the film "Mamma Mia!" evokes nostalgia for the 1970s, more ominous echoes of that stagflationary decade are ringing louder and louder. The economy looks set to slip into a recession as the housing market slides and the banking trauma refuses to end. Yet at the same time inflation is rising inexorably higher. This toxic combination has been described as "stagflation-lite"; the "lite" seems ever less appropriate. ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The competition watchdog's challenge may be more bark than biteAMID the gloom of a faltering economy and a slumping housing market, Britain's banks, with their supervisors in hot pursuit, have been stumbling from one crisis to another. Having written off billions of pounds on the value of exotic credit products, and then tapped shareholders for billions more to rebuild strained balance sheets, banks have been bracing themselves for the next shoe to drop. Most expected it to come in the form of writedowns on bad loans in their traditional banking business. Some analysts reckon these may total as much as GBP19 billion, if defaults rise to levels last seen in the previous downturn in the early 1990s. Yet trouble, as so often happens, has come from an unexpected direction.  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Test-tube babies are rare in the country where the first was born"BABY of the century" ran the front-page headline of the Daily Express on July 11th, 1978. The paper promised the story of Lesley Brown, who was barricaded inside Oldham and District General Hospital, near Manchester, waiting to give birth. The world's press was camped outside; the front doors locked and staff forced to sneak in and out via a side entrance. Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards, the obstetrician and physiologist who had, nine months before, taken an egg from one of Mrs Brown's ovaries under anaesthetic and fertilised it in vitro with her husband's sperm, were in hiding. It had been, said Time magazine after Mrs Brown was delivered of a daughter on July 25th, "the most awaited birth in perhaps 2,000 years".Thirty years after Louise Brown was born, "test-tube babies" are commonplace. Around the world 3.5m have been born and at least 200,000 more join them each year. Yet infertile people in the country where it all began are among the least likely in the rich world to receive what is now a standard treatment for their condition. Just under 700 attempts at in vitro fertilisation (IVF) are carried out per million Britons each year, one of the lowest rates in Europe. The 11,262 IVF babies born in Britain in 2005, the latest year for which figures are available, were just 1.6% of all births, compared with rates of 3-3.5% in the Nordic countries (see chart). ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Worries about the new planning system could well turn into protestsAN INSIGHT often credited to Gordon Brown is that voters only notice a political message when it is reduced to a pithy soundbite and repeated endlessly. "Working hard for hard-working families" was a familiar trope during his decade as chancellor of the exchequer, as was the promise of "no return to boom and bust". Nowadays the prime minister is most likely to be heard asserting his willingness, and the Conservative Party's reluctance, to make "tough, long term decisions".In few policy areas does this self-professed capacity to do what is unpopular but necessary seem more apt than in planning, always a fraught issue in a crowded island with a reverence for the countryside. On July 16th, the House of Lords completed its second reading of a controversial government bill designed to speed up approval for infrastructure projects, such as power stations and motorways. Currently, local councils consider most planning applications, and ministers "call in" particularly contentious ones. A prolonged public inquiry often results. The new system will shift decision-making power to an independent Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC), relegating the government's role to setting out its vision for different types of infrastructure in a series of national policy statements.  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A hotly anticipated by-election that may well change nothingTHE east ends of Britain's big cities have a special, mythical place in the national imagination. They are urban frontiers: gritty, sometimes lawless and eventful. History--trade unionism; radicalism; the temperance movement; industrial revolution; immigrant strife and striving--is packed into them as tightly as their inhabitants are, or, in the case of Glasgow, were. In Glasgow's ruined east end, whole roads are vacant and vandalised; grotty pubs and discount stores dominate the grey high streets.The Westminster by-election on July 24th in Glasgow East--one of the most deprived constituencies in Britain, and hitherto one of Labour's safest seats--has been widely billed as another catalytic east-end drama: a pivotal episode in the rise of Scottish nationalism, a prime minister's fall and the confrontation of entrenched social ills. It is likely to disappoint on all three fronts. ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A new wave of strikes stirs memories of the 1970sFOR the schoolchildren, it was as if the summer holidays had come a few days early. For their parents, though, the strike by school-support staff--dinner ladies, teaching assistants and the like--as well as hundreds of thousands of other local-government workers on July 16th and 17th was less cause for celebration. Besides having to find babysitters or take the day off work, they also had to deal with unemptied bins and closed (or undermanned) town halls. For Labour ministers, it was a worrying portent of further confrontation with the unions that fund the party.Council workers are unhappy with the 2.45% pay rise offered to them by town halls, arguing that, with retail-price inflation at 4.6%, the deal represents a wage cut in real terms. Both sides are appealing to public opinion. The trade unions say that many of the workers in question are poorly paid and often work part-time. The councils retort that any increases above 2.45% would require either higher taxes or cuts in public services. ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The strange magnetism of the Liberal Democrats' leaderTHERE are some good reasons why Labour may stand by Gordon Brown, even if it loses the latest crucial by-election, in Glasgow on July 24th. But one argument advanced by those who think Mr Brown will escape a putsch is mistaken. It is that, amid the economic gloom and catastrophic polls, no one else would want his job. That misunderstands the political psyche. Many top politicians are propelled by iron self-belief and lust for glory. The prospect of a portrait on the Downing Street stairs, of a monument more lasting than bronze--plus a hunch that they are talented enough to turn disaster into triumph--will be enough for some of them to go for it should the regicidal crisis come. Which brings Bagehot to Nick Clegg, leader since December of the Liberal Democrats, Britain's third party. For a politician, he is unusually normal and nice--too nice, almost, for the serpentine machinations of Westminster. He made his biggest splash so far by offering an impressive if vague answer to a journalist's question about the number of notches on his bedpost, earning the sobriquet "Cleggover". A cynic might have concluded that he was courting scandal: an earlier House of Commons walkout by Lib Dem MPs, and Mr Clegg's avowal that he would sooner go to jail than carry an ID card, had suggested a taste for stunts. But he was probably being naively obliging. He is personable and polyglot (his mother is Dutch and his wife Spanish, which helps to explain his devout Europhilia). With no real prospect of power, some may wonder why he puts up with the indignities and stress. ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How Britons became the angry men of Europe--and how to calm them downLONDON, once seen as a quiet and respectable sort of city, is in the grip of a culture de poignard, the French press have taken to reporting. On June 29th two students from the University of Clermont-Ferrand were found horribly murdered in the British capital. The bodies of the young men--bound, multiply stabbed and set alight--have inspired horror on both sides of the Channel. A grisly run of teenage murders before this episode had already caused Britons to wonder what is up.England and Wales are not unusually murderous (see chart). The homicide rate is higher than anywhere in western Europe except Finland, Belgium and indeed France (though Britain edges ahead of France when Scotland and Northern Ireland are included). But Britain looks gentle next to former colonies such as Canada, New Zealand and especially America. And it compares favourably with the EU average, thanks to the new eastern European states: in Latvia and Lithuania homicide is five times as common as it is in Britain. ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Young people's difficulties in finding work are deep-rootedAS THE economic outlook darkens, unemployment looks set to jump: several big homebuilders have announced sweeping job cuts over the past week. On previous form, young people will be hit particularly hard since they find it tougher to get and keep jobs when growth falters. This will cast a harsh light on the government's record in tackling youth unemployment.Getting young people off benefits was one of Labour's five main pledges in the 1997 election that swept the party to power. The "New Deal" was set up to prevent youngsters from long stints of idleness. Any 18-24-year-old unemployed for six months or more had to join the programme, which directed them to jobs, training or some form of activity. But despite early apparent success, the New Deal's effectiveness was exaggerated. It was helped by a buoyant labour market; many young people would have found work in any case.  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Rising fuel costs begin to change behaviourONE of the most popular programmes on British television is "Top Gear", a Sunday-night celebration of the motor car that owes its success to an irreverent mix of speed, stunts and smoking tyres. But viewers of the first instalment in the show's new series, broadcast in June, had a slightly different experience. Following a race designed to find the most fuel-efficient supercar, Jeremy Clarkson, one of the hosts, gave a short soliloquy on how motorists could cut their fuel bills by changing their style of driving. Visitors to Mr Clarkson's blog can find a list of uncharacteristically worthy fuel-economy tips, which include avoiding aggressive acceleration and braking, switching off unnecessary gadgets and even driving more slowly.This sensible advice from the nation's petrolhead-in-chief is only one piece of evidence that high oil prices are beginning to alter consumer behaviour. The AA, a motorists' club, reports that fuel prices rose at their fastest-ever rate last month (by 5.6p per litre for petrol and by 7.4p for diesel). Garages report drops in fuel sales of 5-10%, and say that buying patterns have changed as consumers use their second cars less. Government officials maintain that motorists are driving more slowly, and that high fuel prices are reducing congestion in clogged city centres.  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Anglicans' inability to solve their domestic problems bodes ill for the worldwide gathering later this month WHAT makes a group (of voters, relatives, believers) stick together, even when its membership is varied and quarrelsome? Sometimes deference to a common authority; sometimes fear of adversaries; sometimes common axioms that trump any differences; and sometimes a sentimental "family feeling" that makes people tolerant of eccentricity or even obnoxious behaviour. If none of those factors is present, then break-up looms. The Church of England may be approaching that point. Matters came to a head at the session this week of its ruling General Synod, which saw more than its share of tears, jeers and cheers. The topic under discussion--or so it was reported-- was whether women, who have served as priests since 1994, could also be bishops. ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Record oil prices fail to halt the North Sea's declineWHENEVER he is asked about the viability of an independent Scotland, Alex Salmond, the leader of the Scottish National Party, points to the hydrocarbons pumped from beneath Britain's part of the North Sea. Most of the deposits lie in what would be Scottish waters, argues Mr Salmond, meaning that petropounds could replace much of the subsidy that Scotland currently receives from England.That may be true today, but it is unlikely to remain so for much longer. Once the world's sixth-biggest producer of oil and gas, Britain has seen production drop by around 40% since its peak of 4.5m barrels a day in 1999. On July 8th Oil & Gas UK (OGUK), the offshore industry's trade association, released its annual report. Record oil prices mean a massive windfall for the taxman--forecast at around GBP15 billion, roughly double the tax take last year--but have conspicuously failed to halt the slide in production, which fell from 2.9m barrels per day in 2006 to 2.8m in 2007.  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The National Health Service has lasted long enough to look modern againNOT long ago, Bagehot had a baby. Miss Bagehot came into the world in a National Health Service (NHS) hospital in London, attended by an Azeri midwife, a Kenyan anaesthetist, a Moroccan nurse and an Iraqi paediatrician. The patients were almost as varied as the staff: the new mothers ranged from raucous Cockneys to Anglo-Indian Brahmins. It was a bit shoestring and chaotic, with a faint air of Blitz-spirit stoicism; but, in its essentials, the service was impressive. It was a classic NHS experience.A dream of post-war collectivism, the universal, tax-funded NHS was launched on July 5th, 1948. In the 60 years since then it has intermittently seemed inadequate, hopelessly antiquated and plain doomed. But it is now looking oddly contemporary--partly because it has survived long enough for its principles to be relevant once more, like a retro fashion that suddenly seems cool again, and partly because it has evolved. Two of the four big problems that have long beset it are almost solved.  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Planned surgery for the NHS turns out to be less radical than billedNO LONG-MARRIED couple could have made more fuss about an approaching diamond anniversary than Britain's government has over the 60th anniversary of the National Health Service on July 5th. The build-up started more than a year ago, when the incoming prime minister, Gordon Brown, decided the electorate could do with a history lesson on this cherished institution (see article). He promised that his Labour Party, which had "created the NHS, that has always invested in the NHS, that has always believed in the NHS", would be the party that renewed it. He commissioned Lord Darzi, a surgeon and health minister, to come up with a new plan in time for the NHS's big day.What with the publication of an interim report last October and multiple leaks since then, Lord Darzi's final report on June 30th felt anticlimactic. A much-heralded new "constitution" turns out to be a flowery restatement of existing rights, such as the entitlement to choose a hospital or receive any treatment approved by the NHS's spending watchdog. Earlier hints that it might detail patients' responsibilities too--to lose weight or give up smoking before surgery, for example--have yielded nothing. And proposals in the interim report to carpet the land with polyclinics--halfway houses between GP surgeries and district hospitals--have, after some critical reviews, been toned down and relegated to a separate report on primary care. ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Artists do battle to enrich their heirsON THE very day that a study by Francis Bacon, who died in 1992, sold for GBP17.3m ($34.4m) in Christie's biggest contemporary-art sale, a group of British artists fired the opening salvo in what could prove a drawn-out battle. Should their heirs be entitled to royalties on such sales? Led by Damien Hirst, Britain's most commercially successful artist, more than 500 signed a letter to the Telegraph urging the government to give them that right. "Our loved ones often sacrifice a lot to support an artist in the family," the letter went, and it was only fair that they got a share of the profits.For the past two years 4% of the price of a work by a living artist sold through an auction house or by a dealer has been payable to the artist. Sales of less than EURO1,000 (GBP796) are exempt, and the tax is capped for anything worth EURO500,000 or more. Throughout the European Union the tax is payable on sales of works by living artists or those who have died within 70 years; in Britain it is only works by living artists that qualify. The EU allowed Britain this exemption until 2012. Mr Hirst and his colleagues would like to make sure it is not extended.  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[After Wendy Alexander's ouster, Labour faces a by-election from hellWHEN the 1922 general election swept the Labour Party to dominance in west-central Scotland, a Conservative lamented that it was the worst national disaster since Flodden, a 16th-century battle in which the English crushed the Scots. So recorded the young Gordon Brown in his biography of James Maxton, one of the authors of that Labour victory. Now the prime minister may be facing his own Flodden at a parliamentary by-election in Glasgow East, hitherto one of the safest seats in Labour's Scottish heartlands.At first sight, it looks improbable. David Marshall, the MP whose resignation has precipitated the contest on July 24th, won 60.7% of the vote and a 13,507 majority at the 2005 parliamentary election, leaving the Scottish National Party (SNP) with just 17% of the vote. Yet these are fraught times for Mr Brown. Labour was beaten into fifth place in the Henley by-election on June 26th. And the Scottish Labour Party is in disarray: Wendy Alexander, its leader, resigned on June 28th, brought down by breaching the rules on political donations.  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What do we want? Fiscal prudence, property rights and lower taxesTHE oft-quoted maxim that a man who is not a socialist at 20 has no heart, whereas one who is still a socialist at 40 has no head, has been variously attributed to George Bernard Shaw, Winston Churchill, Woodrow Wilson and Otto von Bismarck, among others. Whatever its origins, the path that leads from the student view of property as theft to an appreciation of low taxes is well-trodden, often suspiciously soon after employment sets in.Now, it appears, many students are starting adulthood differently. A report published on June 26th by Opinionpanel, a research outfit that specialises in polling students, documents a big shift in political allegiances on campus since 2004 (see chart). In those days the Liberal Democrats were the students' favourite; support for the Tories hovered between a fifth and a quarter, and a third supported Labour. Now fewer than a quarter support Labour, and the Conservatives have soared to 45%.  ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A single-issue by-election hits rural YorkshireTHE exigencies of the war on terror seem a long way from Haltemprice and Howden, one of the more bucolic parliamentary constituencies. There are few obvious targets to strike in this collection of Yorkshire villages, nor much scope for a clash of cultures (the non-white population is under 2%). Islamist recruiters hoping to exploit deprivation should also look elsewhere: five years ago the private-wealth division of Barclays, a bank, rated it the tenth-richest place in the country, once living costs were taken into account.Yet thanks to its MP, David Davis, the seat has become a forum for the vexed debate on the trade-off between liberty and security that has gripped Westminster. On June 12th, the day after Parliament voted to extend maximum detention without charge for terrorist suspects from 28 to 42 days, Mr Davis resigned as the Conservative home-affairs spokesman and announced that he would quit his seat. He said he would campaign in the resulting by-election, which takes place on July 10th, on the issue of defending civil liberties from 42 days, identity cards, CCTV cameras, DNA databases and other incursions. ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When companies need cash and shareholders say noAT THE back of every mortgage lender's mind is the fear that, in a downturn, those whose homes (and other assets) are worth less than their mortgages will simply drop their keys through the letterbox and walk away from their debts. Should banks now start to worry that the companies which built those homes will do likewise? Taylor Wimpey, Britain's biggest homebuilder, went to its shareholders for GBP500m ($1 billion) to shore up its balance-sheet. It returned on July 2nd without an extra penny to its name. A shudder ran round the stockmarket and Taylor Wimpey's share price, already weak at the knees, gave way.With house prices collapsing and sales of new homes grinding to a halt, the firm, with net debts of about GBP1.7 billion and a market value of some GBP370m, needs extra cash because it risks breaching the conditions on some of its bank loans. Yet in a business where timing is at least as important as location, Taylor Wimpey's capital-raising could hardly have come at a worse moment. For on July 1st, just as it tried to get investors to make final commitments, news emerged that in June house prices had fallen by 6.3% from a year earlier, their biggest drop since the previous housing bust in the early 1990s.  ...]]></description>
