“Throughout all of these waves of media and political tub-thumping about youth crime, and subsequent policies on child sentencing, one thing above all shines through: recidivism.”
“The other option – typified by the unapologetically noncharismatic leaders of Britain and Germany, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Chancellor Friedrich Merz – has been to persuade⟳ the electorate they’ll work⟳ hard to deliver⟳ sustainable policy results on issues like⟳ immigration, and above all, economic growth, in a way that tub-thumping populists simply cannot.”
