As the sands of time run out on 2025, I thought I would give you a hostage to fortune by offering you a few forecasts for 2026! Bookmark it and we will see in 12 months time if was right or wrong!
-
The UK will have a new Prime Minister. Sir Keir Starmer is headed towards the exit door and the May elections will be the hammer blow. I don’t know who will succeed him but the adenoidal knight will not survive 2026 in Downing Street.
-
More broadly, UK politics will be firmly divided between extreme leftist ideology (Greens, SNP, Plaid) and the centre right, Reform. The old Uniparty will look irrelevant.
-
There will not be an end to the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Despite the best efforts of Trump, NATO/UN/Kiev will keep the grift going.
-
Access to the internet will increasingly be dependent on proof of age as anonymity is erased. No ID = no internet. 2025 was the warm up act.
-
The Mid-terms in the US will not be good for the Republicans as the Democrats make substantial gains and win control of the House.
-
Hungary’s Viktor Orban faces a big challenge that I think he will win. Sweden/Denmark will see Sweden Democrats/Danish People’s Party gains amid the big migration debate. Europe will change.
-
Regardless of leader, the UK Government will further pivot INTO the EU by declaring a return to some sort of Customs Union.
-
Following two heavy tax rising budgets in 2024 and 205 , the UK economy will slump and Labour will express puzzlement at what has caused this.
-
Mass migration into the Western heartlands will be increasingly met with popular calls for mass deportation. This will be a mainstream view.
-
And finally, the BBC will declare 2026 the hottest year on record!
Regardless of what happens, I hope to be here to give you my take on it!
