Some damning research from Ipsos’ tracker, which shows that optimism in the economy is at its lowest level since records began:

“Net economic optimism in Britain has fallen to the lowest levels ever recorded since Ipsos began collecting this data in 1978. 78% of Brits expect the economy to get worse over the next 12 months, 12% think it will stay the same, and just 6% think it will improve – giving a net Ipsos economic optimism index score of -72.”

Are the securonomics in the room with us right now?
