Get your wallets out folks.....

The way it works in politics is these people are given these jobs so the leader can dictate what they all do. Starmer is the man in charge, not him. The shit will fall on Starmer's head if our economy goes tits up.

I'm keeping an open mind regarding Starmer's ability to improve our economy. This is because when the Tories ran the government the policies were so stupid that it leaves the next man with a huge scope for improvement. It is much easier to gain x amount of GDP growth in a poor and chaotic country than one where everything is well thought out and hightly organised. It's simply you have a low base to improve upon.

If we look at the markets right now we actually see that as far as investors are concerned, they have a fair degree of confidence so the figures look OK to good. If there has been any change, it has been positive. We certainly don't see a collapse in confidence as it was around the time of Liz truss suffering the poor management of Andrew Bailey.
