Plan B: A second look at his protest song
Plan B has always positioned himself as a provocative artist. One who seeks change. Equally he is not scared of shying away from big, thorny issues. His new single iLL Manors has received great praise from both The Independent’s Tim Walker and The Guardian’s Dorian Lynskey.

The IMF faces both ways on the UK economy
What the IMF staff are talking about here is not the range of supply side reforms that right-wingers are talking up and calling “Plan A +”. What they are suggesting could be needed is full on short-term fiscal loosening in the form of tax cuts.
