John Authers discusses the UK's fiscal crisis, where political instability is driving gilt yields higher, limiting government spending. He compares the UK's vulnerability to the US, noting the UK's dependence on foreign capital and the bond market's role as a constraint on policy, unlike the currency market in the past.
