A prince of the realm taking on Britain's biggest newspapers is surely newsworthy? Not if you're a reader of one of these titles, writes Liz Gerard

It’s Wednesday and so before we get to the music segment we have time to discuss a few issues. The first relates to the progress Britain is making in its post-Brexit reality.

No one seeks to justify the indefinite imprisonment of people who should have been released years ago. Yet it continues.

Look what they’ve done There is no doubt in mind what’s causing that bizarre disconnect: Last year, the Atlantic’s Derek Thompson summarized the national mood succinctly: Everything is terrible, but I’m fine. He was reacting to research published by the Federal Reserve evaluating how confident Americans were about their own finances and the nation’s more broadly. What the data suggested was that there was a gap, that while three-quarters of Americans said their own finances were doing all right, only a quarter said the national economy was doing well. On Monday, the Federal Reserve released the 2022 iteration of those same numbers. When Thompson was writing, there was a 54-point gap between confidence in Americans’ own finances and those of the nation generally and a 30-point gap with perceptions of the local economy. Now, the gap with the local economy is 35 points, with fewer than 4 in 10 Americans saying their local economies are doing well. Only 2 in 10 Americans say the same of the national economy. I include social media in that indictment. There is no material reason that Americans should be so sour about the economy.
