What poetic irony that 248 years later, that this election will, most probably declare Independence from the ‘mad King George’ years!

Thank you for the insight -

Happy 4th of July!!!

Always a great read, and an interesting insight on UK's development, especially since brexit; we as European's don't have much visibility to what is happening; moreover it has become more difficult to pass the chanel for a "walk" around this magnificent country.

Starmer's success may well rest on whether he can persuade European powers to cut the UK some slack on market access without having to allow freedom of movement. That in turn will depend on Europeans seeing any advantage in doing so. Without Europe there are no obvious levers and mechanisms to drive economic growth. Without growth, there will be more of the discord we have seen in the last couple of years . In the meantime, let's face the music and dance!
