Clinton's campaigning slogan seems out of place amidst the political chatter about partygate and the rumblings about war in Ukraine.  But the government's credibility hinges on economic performance. There are worrying trends: a slowdown in post covid recovery and rising inflation which has been underestimated.

Sir Vince Cable is the former leader of the Liberal Democrats and served as Secretary of State for business, innovation and skills from 2010 to 2015. He records a regular podcast ‘Cable Comments’, expanding on the themes from this column.
