Concise and very impressive (and sadly depressing, but one shouldn't shoot the messenger!) summary of many of the challenges facing the UK.
I left the UK in the early 90s to work in the US and Asia, and finally I recently moved back to Europe. However I have decided against returning to the UK. The problems are too great and being self-inflicted it'll take a long time to fix them as our leaders aren't going to admit the errors they made. Philip, you are right it will take two General Elections at least.
I still need to visit the UK, and enjoy meeting friends and family, and revisiting a few old haunts. My next trip though is in a week; I'm dreading it.
Excellent article Philip. The UK has mimicked the American system for too long. Whereas it is the Scandinavian Countries, with their higher taxes and much better services, that provide the best and happiest way of life, for their citizens. We could move our axis North instead of West, as well as rejoining our biggest market to our East. The charade of Global Britain is just that, a charade.
It would be difficult not to subscribe to Phiip's paper. My experience as a British resident non dom has brought the evidence of how reckless and self-damaging Brexit has been. Indeed, after years of a rewarding experience in London, Brexit brought so many difficulties that I decided to leave definitively. Philip might be a bit down elusive of the problems encountered by Britain before Brexit. But in any case, I prefer not to be in Rishi Sunak's place. If going the right way, he will be criticised for being insufficiently human, if he lets the main braces be split, he will be criticised for being a demagog. Signing an agreement with the UK's main partners to foster investment and reciprocal trade would be most desirable, but it might be difficult without significantly changing the present course of "cavalier seul" which Britain has been favoring under the new Tory's rule. What about asking for readmission into the EU?...😎😎

Absolutely top notch analysis by the very best in the business!

Excellent, as always.
