Sunday School: It's the stupid, economy

Uh-oh, the US economy appears to be entering the 'find out' stage of team Trump's eff-around experiment. As employment figures, market confidence and senior statisticians all take a beating from agent Orange , Naomi Smith and Kenny Campbell survey the wreckage – and pay special attention to how AI is acting both as a destroyer of jobs and a huge economic stimulus. Closer to home, they look at Labour's new plan to get more working class people into the civil service – lefty social engineering or the beginning of a much-needed reset? And there's some new polling from our buddies at More In Common, who have been asking people when they think the wheels fell off Britain.
