Because of my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever (Ps 41:12)
The Treasury's groupthink has a clear and traceable lineage which begins during the Blair administration of the late nineties. By 2007 it was formalised as doctrine, and it still dominates bureaucrat thinking today. Why do voters always get more immigration when they vote against it?
A programme that cannot define its terms, validate its instruments, or name the authors of its definitions has spent two decades reading the inner lives of British citizens through the vocabulary of the hospital ward. Fifty prisoners supplied the science. Children supply the caseload.
Nottingham did not lose its way. It ran at a fixed level of danger for thirteen years while every board minute reported improvement. Mid Staffs said the same in 2013, Morecambe Bay before it, Shrewsbury after. The compensation bill is now the only part of the system that tells the truth.
