Some recent study came out and placed the UK's GDP below all 50 US states. So UK produces less economic activity than the likes of Mississippi or New Mexico. Funny enough a few YouTube videos had the interviewer casually asking Britons where they thought they would rank and more than a few thought the UK would be around the 5-7 most powerful out of the 51.
Brits still cling to their sense of empire and grandeur despite long have given away what gave them their 200 years of greatness (nameless a powerful military and numerous colonies to exploit raw materials and favorable taxation/mercantile policies).
Sadly I don't think Americans understand they are on the same path unless things change in a hurry.
Not ready to hit the panic button quite yet. American work ethic, entrepreneurial spirit, celebrating others' successes and strong private sector are not going away anytime soon. We just are not wired the same way Brits are.
We are seeing that in NYC. Mamdani goes further left, billionaires leave and go south.

This. I have a client based on the UK and the consistent them is how decentralized everything is here. 44 different sales tax laws. 50 different answers to individual and business income taxes. They're all playing by the same set of rules so unless you don't want to be British then there's nowhere to go. In the U.S. you can flee liberal economic policies and still be American. That's how we were designed and clearly it still works or people wouldn't be fleeing NYC and California at the rates we're seeing.

The measure is in terms of GDP per capita, not total GDP, but nonetheless, it's pretty rough to be looking up at Mississippi.

Political correctness is a BIG problem in the Western world, especially for Caucasians/White people.
Most people are deathly afraid of being called out as racists and getting tarred and feathered online. And canceled. So they'd rather save their skins by playing safe and saying they "are for (legal) immigration", and "we want good people from other countries" and "we are a nation of immigrants".
I am yet to meet someone in a position of power who has the guts to say "we have enough immigrants, we don't need more". Or "if the people coming in are that good, they should be able to turn their own countries into superpowers, I don't see that". And "we may be a nation of immigrants, but that does not mean immigrants can just walk in and have a right to anything".
Trump is the closest to this in the US.
There is no one in the UK who has to the guts to call out Muslim gangs and to save their careers, they continue to say nice things and defend these degenerates.

Nah, he's just the product of his ideology and circumstance. If you believe your opposition is evil AND you are operating in a system where you can force your own party to keep you in power when alternatives exist you're going to do what he's doing. It's just the natural extension of the system as constructed. A fascist in his position would use the same threat to implement uniparty legislative action to prevent BOTH himself and his party from being removed from power.
The only difference between us and them in this scenario is that our system doesn't really allow for such a thing. Joe Biden's ouster against his will is a very recent illustration of this. You can argue that is good or bad but it just is. And you really can't claim a party and leader with a supermajority for two years NOT permanently cementing themselves into power in a parliamentary system that actually allows for it is an example of fascism.

"Sir Keir Starmer looks set to resign as Prime Minister in this coming week."
"Journalist Dan Hodges has reported that a Cabinet Minister has informed him that: 'they believe Keir Starmer will announce he's standing down this week without the need for a contest.' He goes on to say that this is the first time he's heard this directly from a Cabinet Minister."
The one behind him is 100x worse, but it will be short lived. The Labour Party is being absolutely destroyed right now and there doesn't appear to be a way to correct the ship.

Tommy @TRobinsonNewEra, this communist cannot silence millions, nor can he take away their right to vote!

Let me make a prediction.
This Muslim woman MP Shabana Mahmood will end up as PM of the UK.
This is what Brits do. They have lost their self-worth and sold themselves to Pakistani Muslims who are more aggressive and tell the original Brits what it is to be a Brit.
