It’ll be either interesting or terrifying to see where we are in 2 years.
After the ERM collapse and super high interest rates the Major government managed to turn it all around, but it wasn’t enough to save them and Blair rode on that economic chariot for years before he and Brown pissed it all away.

I don't think they pissed it away as such - the Global Financial Crisis hit the economy hard and financial regulation was too light.
