Wait until you see what's happened to UK government debt under the Tories!
The 'DEATH OF THE EU' has been gleefully predicted ever since the 2016 referendum, BRITAIN WILL LEAD THE WAY OUT OF BROKEN EU and all the rest of it, and yet here we are in 2024 and the bloc, for all of its faults and foibles (which have always existed and I have always acknowledged), remains completely intact.
The slow reversal of Brexit is baked in at this point, I see the Tories have been brutalised in the local elections overnight, this will carry forward into the general election, far too many people in the UK have just absolutely had enough of the Tories' shite, and despite a lack of enthusiasm for Labour, they'll almost certainly form the next government with a solid majority.
From there, Starmer will have five years to start to show some results, to be able to go back to the British people in 2029 and to have those people feel his government has been making their lives better, so that they'll vote Labour again. For that he's going to need money, lots of money. The good news is lots of money is available, and to get that money, we're going to have to start building bridges with the EU.
The other thing Starmer will have going for him is that Brexit has failed, completely and utterly, and very visibly. We're into the realms of grand self-delusion for anyone to claim it's been a success, or that success is just around the corner, anyone with a remotely functioning brain can readily identify it's a mortally wounded animal that needs to be put out of its misery, so it'll be an easy sell to start to roll it back in all kinds of ways (regulatory alignment and suchlike), without uttering the dreaded 'rejoin' word.
