Britain must reset its compass, from housing to wages, says archbishop of York

Stephen Cottrell says the nation has learned to live with wrongs when it should be trying to change them

Britain needs to reset its compass in a political climate in which we've learned to accommodate things that we know are wrong", the archbishop of York has said.

Stephen Cottrell, who was enthroned in October, told the Observer: Our compass has slipped; we've allowed ourselves to believe that things can't change, that this is just the way the world is. Politics has, I think, shrunk. There's a loss of vision about what the world could be like."
