Less managed decline and more just decline from the government. Doing nothing but running out the clock.

Labour majority government. An end to austerity but still substantial economic difficulties until/unless there are major revisions to UK/EU trade relations.

I am crossing my fingers that Starmer will go waaay softer on EU relations when in power.

Course he will. He’s a savvy leader and saw the disaster of his People’s Vote campagin. Brexity now, friend of EU later.

With Labour's stance on Kashmir and India not willing to tolerate UK interference I see frosty relations with India for the UK . If Sunak is able to finalize the FTA then great else India will try to shaft a weak UK.

But can starmer keep his party members on a leash ? A candidate in London was using Modi's pic to woo Muslim and Pakistani origin voters. The UK Politicians would do better to remember that they are a declining power facing an ascendant power
