It's a bit like a spoiled 10-year-old taking the controls of a large articulated lorry on a busy motorway. He doesn't know where he's going, he doesn't know what he's carrying, he doesn't understand the controls and he doesn't care about anyone else on the road. The only thing predictable about the outcome is that it's not going to be good for anyone.

"Also, one should never confuse the health of financial markets with the health of a real economy. " Wisdom indeed. It's a betting shop and, while it's useful to know what people are betting on, it's only a part of the picture.

Yes. The thing about stock markets is that those in the know and with the requisite controls get rich whichever way it moves.

@ "The Tories were pretty bad, but at least they kept the UK economy from completely collapsing" Um, were you sleeping when Liz Truss almost did exactly that? But I'm fascinated. What exactly were these "obvious" solutions?

@robertovary9736 What does that mean?

@honkytears You haven't yet seen the impact of tariffs and it will be interesting to see how you grow food without immigrants. One thing you've got right though is using the word "reign". He does think he's a monarch and it's doubtful that you'll ever have another election that is free and fair in any meaningful sense.

@ Starmer certainly doesn't have a clue about what he's doing. That's pretty much because he's being worked by a hand up his back. But no. As far as bulls in china shops go, he's not in the same league as Trump
