How can The Telegraph criticize US debt as a 'danger to the global economy' when the UK government is also drowning in debt?

I don’t think that is the point. It is not a comment made in the vein of “we are doing so well, and you are doing so badly.”

It was more in the nature of “the US economy is systemic to the global economy - if things go sideways for the US economy then that has knock-on implications for everyone else too.”
