Part 2/16:
The United Kingdom is experiencing an unprecedented crisis, characterized by rising unemployment and inflation rates, political disarray within the government, and a broader societal upheaval. Official figures now report unemployment soaring to 5.1%, reminiscent of the worst days during lockdown, and inflation climbing to 3.6%, well above the Bank of England’s targeted 2%. This economic deterioration signals a relapse into COVID-era turbulence, driven partly by government mismanagement and reckless fiscal policies.
