In the wake of the recent elections, the political map of the UK is in flux.
Likewise in the wake of world developments, the economic landscape in the UK is also shifting.
But politics and economics are inseparable parts of the same whole, so predictions are tricky (especially about the future).
For those who recognise that "business as usual" isn't going to return any time soon, opportunities exist to make appropriate changes in their circumstances to better position themselves and their families for what may be coming, but with uncertainty rampant that's more difficult than it's been for many a year, and whilst knowledgeable people on the internet do their best to keep us informed, there are too many to follow and they produce too much to keep up with.
(For my part I'd quite like to return to the days when we only had a "pandemic" to keep us busy!)
Still, we have to start somewhere, so I'm featuring two expert sources, each of which has impressed me with hard-headed analysis over recent years - Nick Hubble for the Economics, and Nick Griffin for the Politics.
Needless to say, both of these may founder should the global rug really be pulled from beneath our feet, so make of these what you will ...
My personal view is that we could do worse than taking steps to improve our flexibility to respond to events incoming, given current uncertainties, even in small ways. At the least we are likely to learn things to our advantage, and at the best we may be glad that we did.
Nick Hubble: Only a financial crisis can save us now
Nick Griffin: The Tribalisation of British Politics
Make of these what you will.
