The big story of this month’s UK election was a Conservative meltdown, while support for Labour barely rose at all. Along with disastrous missteps by Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, and Rishi Sunak, long-term structural factors mean the Tories are in decline.

    Its curious, everytime i read "uk is fucked/not fucked economically", there is no mention that very notable source of uk wealth is city, variety of oligarchs from africa/post-ussr countries, and varied money laundering shenanigans, involving asset mispricing in offshores inbound to eu.

    Those boats have sailed to dubai/ireland/netherlands (awaiting netherlands handbuilt offshore island btw), and britain losing its eu access only exacerbates the problem.
