Garys Economics · Do bond markets control the government? · 2 Jul 2026 podcast

But the reason I've done that is because we are going to have a new government here in the UK.

And if I'm totally honest, and you know, I've come out and I've told people to vote for Andy Burnham, and I've told people to vote for Labour in the recent by-election, which has got him into this position where he can become, and he will become Prime Minister.

But if I'm totally honest, I'm worried.

I'm worried.

I was in Parliament all day yesterday trying to talk to politicians.

But we are not professional lobbyists.

We've got one member of staff here at Gary's Economics.

And I'm not a professional lobbyist.

And I'm out there trying my best to convince Andy Burnham and his team of the importance of this.

But obviously, every billionaire in the country is spending a lot of money to convince him that all he needs to do is some sort of technocratic, technical, economic jiggery-pokery and everything will be fine.

And if that happens, I know what will happen, which is it will be Keir Starmer 2.0 and he will become very, very unpopular very quickly.

And it will be Nigel Farage.

And whatever you think of Nigel Farage, he's not going to raise taxation on the rich.

But if I'm totally honest, my concern is not really Nigel Farage.

My concern is what happens after Nigel Farage.

Because...

If Burnham fails on living standards, and if Burnham fails on inequality, and if Burnham fails on the economy, I guarantee you that Farage will fail on living standards, and Farage will fail on inequality, and Farage will fail on the economy.

I like history.

I read a lot about history.

And I think it's important to recognise that what is happening now is not very dissimilar from what happened 100 years ago.
