Michael Lambert: Britain's Wrong Priorities: The Truth Nobody in Power Will Admit

Apr 25, 2026 | Britain has completely lost the plot — and this week I'm going to tell you exactly why.

Police officers are investigating 12,000 instances of online posting while shoplifters walk freely out of small shops every day. Counterfeit cigarettes and drugs are openly sold. Small businesses are prosecuted for minor infractions while widespread fraud goes entirely unpunished.

And London Underground drivers — already earning £72,000 in basic pay — are forever going on strike for more.

These aren't isolated stories. They are symptoms of a country where the wrong things are being prioritised by the wrong people — and nobody in power seems to care.

This is my weekly analysis of what's really going wrong in Britain. No spin, no party loyalty — just the evidence as I see it.
