Successive governments have ducked the question of which degrees are actually public goods worth spending taxpayers’ money on.
The Chancellor has not always been well treated by his neighbour, and deserves support over public spending. But he has mishandled his internal position over Brexit.
Decades of haphazard policy have left Britain with a patchwork reactor system which is expensive to run and proving tricky to replace.
