As our great leader Keir ‘let’s-cancel-local-elections’ Starmer bravely fights on with his project to alienate the United States while seeking ever closer ties with the EU and China, I thought I’d just show two simple charts.
The first shows the evolution of GDP in the US compared to the main European economies and a few other key countries over the last 18 years:

I think it’s fairly obvious which countries are moving towards a more prosperous future and which are stagnating.
When we look at GDP per capita over the same period, the situation is not so bad for the main European economies. But the US is still the world’s star performer and is likely to achieve even better results under President Trump with his focus on low energy costs for households and businesses and bringing jobs back to the US:

However, China comes off rather badly on the GDP per capita measure and therefore may not be such an attractive future business partner as Komissar Keir imagines.
But being a globalist socialist, Starmer is determined to shackle Britain to the underperforming EU countries and the low-GDP-per-Capita China while doing everything in his power to insult and alienate the successful US
The damage the (IMHO) useless, lying, incompetent, UK-hating Starmer and his bunch of fools and knaves are doing to Britain may be irreversible. Only a financial crisis brought about by a refusal of the bond markets to lend money to the profligate, public-sector-adoring, private-sector-loathing British government can save us.
Meanwhile, as Britain sinks into recession, we can only look on enviously as Trump’s US goes from strength to strength. Recession, impoverishment, energy shortages, immiseration – that’s Starmer’s Labour’s Christmas present to Britain.














I prefer to wait to see what Trump does, rather listen to his boasts. There is a serious issue with his policy of imposing tariffs on cheap imports. If it does encourage job creation the prices of the domestic goods will increase because the prices of imports have increased. Energy in the USA might be cheaper, but what about labour?
A comparison between the UK and the USA and China also has a major issue. Britain is a small country with few natural resources. China isn’t as well placed as the USA but it has been buying resources in Africa. Britain has to export to pay for essential imports and there isn’t a politician who realises that.
