Well a pmi greater than 50 is not a decline, it's expansion, whereas EU countries shrinking pmi, big drops in Germany and France i think, 47's-48's from memory. Theres some evidence for you and my gay cousin over there who always votes for Labor and the commies don't like this starmer, he was telling us the other day they were going to cut his benefits, Starmer not real popular at all, even some publicans have banned him from their pubs, i seen one publican kick starmer out and that well known witty and popular Clarkson has also banned him from his pub.
Meanwhile Farage is very popular for a start up party, represents a lot of things moderate English conservatives and Labor voters like, he's piniching voters from both sides i think.
Uk also doing just as well if not better than comparable peers market indexes too, they put in a covid low in 2020 just after official brexit and have since nearly doubled which is much the same as our ASX, the Dax etc, however they have had conservative leadership up until now since Brexit and with some of things Starmer seems keen to do Labor could well slow the place down a lot or even oversee a decline like your talking about.
We can check back after a few years to see if Starmer is keeping things on the up and up, i think he's frightening off investment and the wealthy people with even more regulations and taxes, Labor seem to be going the wrong way pinty, Labor did this type of thing back in the late 60's or 70's i think and it only made things worse for the people, the wealthy pushed off and investment dried up as companies and people decided to invest elsewhere.
