What's caught my eye this week including Labour's joyless honeymoon, shrinking British kids, the Fed's momentous decision, Berlin's banking blunder, and the battle for the Global South
Simon, another excellent post with much to digest. It brings up some striking similarities between the UK and the US. In reference to the tittle-tattle surrounding Labor in the UK you note, "these rows are also filling a vacuum in the media where debate about policy should be." The same can be said of the US as we approach the November elections. Then you highlight the decline in the height of British children, and the chart shows a similar decline for American children. There are often interesting correlations in trends across the main English-speaking countries, and these two are particularly depressing.
