Compassion and connection will prevail if humanity is to survive. It may feel we are at the worst moment in human history because the moment is now. There will be worse moments to come, that is certain. Poetry could become the only means, literally, of survival. Truth will be our life-raft. For example, in October of this year it was reported by the Centre for European Reform that leaving the EU will cost Ukania an additional £311 billion by 2035. That is the “black hole” Rachel Reeves was less than honest about.

The leaders of Ukania will not face reality because they do not know what it is. It is the people of Scotland who are paying the price for that. As Robert Musil wrote in “A Man Without Qualities”, “If there is a sense of reality, there must also be a sense of possibility.” The art of what is possible will be the basis for the politics of the future. Upside down or inside out, we will get there. We have to.
