Re: Starmer’s chronicles

Should Andy get over all the hurdles, watch interest rates rise. As he goes on a borrowing spree.

Not entirely a bad thing from my POV, better savings rates.

Its really unclear to me if he'll be good or bad, I know hes served in government before and I cant ever remember much being said about him. I think hes drawn more attention while mayor of Manchester.

Of course, all speculation atm, hes a long way from actually being leader yet.

A good article. I picked out this gem of truth:

https://edition.cnn.com/2026/05/16/u...ble-latam-intl

Quote:
Because Starmer ruled out raising the three main sources of taxation during his 2024 election campaign, his government has been constrained, and has had to hunt for revenue from small, politically unpopular sources.

“They picked ‘baddies’ – private schools, farmers, banks – and they whacked them, but then they didn’t get enough money from doing that to do much for anyone else,” said Ansell. “They created a lot of enemies and not a lot of friends.”
