The Only Way is Up: How to Take Britain from Austerity to Prosperity
Political change has come. But the new Westminster government’s inheritance looks grim. We’re all in it together, the Tories used to say. In The Only Way is Up, husband and wife team, Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee and former director of The Audit Commission David Walker give us a ready reckoner on how to repair the damage of sharp social divisions, vastly increased inequality, a stagnant economy and unfulfilled commitments on climate change – and all at a time of unprecedented international tension.
Combining the latest data with expert analysis across health, children’s services, the economy, environment, policing and defence, Festival favourites Polly and David tell the story of what went wrong during the Tories’ wild ride and what must now be remedied.
