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.
