We're in a shifting political landscape that can be frustrating, emotional and confusing. At last, a sane voice of reason that cuts through the noise.

We're living through The Breakdown. A time of enormous political upheaval and polarised opinion. Many of us feel ill-equipped to understand and debate the issues currently rocking our world. At last, here is a sane voice of reason that cuts through the noise.

Brexit: a chance to take back control or taking us to the brink of disaster?

Immigration: a strain on our country or a crucial part of our economy?

Austerity: essential reduction of national debt or devastating cuts to public spending?

Tax cuts: control over your money or a threat to the welfare system?

Privatisation: Crucial efficiency-boosting competition or the ruthless destruction of our public services?

Ban on plastics: saving the planet or excessive government interference?

The Breakdown will give you all the tools to work out what's happening and why - and then empower you to do something about it.
