I’m hearing that a big ole crisis is in the makings.

Slightly spooked.

What do you think? Is it alarmist? What will inflation hit worst in this case? What will be devalued most?

    Next year? Hard to say. If Starmer gets ousted, which looks more and more likely, then that’ll probably mean a cabinet reshuffle. Honestly can’t say I’ve been too impressed by Rachel Reeves’ efforts, but then again I imagine it’s hard to totally insulate the economy from a mad bloke who’s seemingly trying his level best to destabilise the entire world.

    If Burnham or Miliband do get elected, then I imagine we’ll do ok.

      I’m actually a bit worried about Burnham winning the byelection. If he becomes PM we’ll be having a political crisis at the same time as an economic one.

        To be fair, I think we’ve been in the midst of a political crisis for some time.

        Although, I agree - I think Andy Burnham winning Makerfield would be the flashpoint for the leadership contest that has been looming for the past few months.

        Maybe this is the only way things will settle down.
