  1. No single word about the City of London being the main disruptor of Great Britain, leaving the whole country at the financial mercy to their private interests?? 🤔

  2. I loved listening to Dr. David Starkey in this interview, but I'm irritated for what he stands economically 🤔 he seems to find good what Thatcher did and Milei is doing (ignoring the bad consequences at least of Milei?) -- although he is very right on the state not being anything like lean, efficient and effective. And the parliament should have most influence on fiscal and monetary politics. A "self-cosuming" state is good for no one in the private sector. I wish he would incorporate Keynesian Ideas. It is important to create sustainable structures, for sure, but not a little state as possible. State spendings have to be responsibly and cost-efficient and complementary to the needs and well-doing if the private sector. I also agree, that Starmer and Reeves will only worsen GB's misery, but for clinging further on neoliberal ideas and majorly for lacking to transform government structures to a lean one without loosing the states major functions

  3. I disagree with Dr. Starkey that the state is acting as an over-protective parent, specifically in your country. Does he wants to get back to early 20th century where failing could mean starvation, real poverty and even death? You can only get up and take care of yourselves if you have the opportunities and some safety net!

  4. The funny thing is that technically the UK can't and likely won't give bankrupt, at least in its own currency

  5. @abersnat  only if they desperately to wish so and stick to their dumb neoclassical rules. Like in the US, the UK can always create new £ to pay all their bills - if useful or not

  6. @maugustyniak  indeed, but still, did it get the proper attention as a great danger to the UK economy?

  7. @AmericanAdvancement  ok here many things are mixed up including an u fortunately wide-spread basic anti-government-in-general perspective. It's true that many government extended to much since they are form and lead (at the top) by the same greedy and unsocial people that lead big companies. But please don't forget that government and public services per se, in theory are good and very essential for the private sector, regular peoples and companies alike, if it would be applied wisely. This doesn't happen anyway, at least not with any good sense to support the people, and with desperately wrong economic models - the same across the western world. And this also leads to "vamping" on global South nations
