from The State Of It · host David Murrin
Horatio and David discuss current UK politics. David argues that Labour’s credibility has been damaged by Angela Rayner’s resignation and Starmer’s handling of it, and that internal Left–Centre tensions are widening. He is scathing about David Lammy’s promotion and predicts Reform UK will overtake Labour well before 2029 due to a looming financial crisis and public disillusionment with both major parties. He criticises Starmer’s leadership, the Chagos decision, and the choice of Mandelson, and says UK defence is dangerously under-resourced and over-reliant on US enablers. He argues for missile defence and a stronger nuclear triad. Finally, he predicts a UK-led Western debt crisis driven by commodity-led inflation and policy missteps by Rachel Reeves.Stay ahead of the curve.Find us on:Website Official website of David Murrin - Global ForecasterInstagram @MurrinrawYoutube David Murrin - YouTubeIf you have any questions that you would like David to answer on the podcast, please email David through his website.
