British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will soon declare something ZeroHedge readers have known for quite some time – the economic system championed by the international elite is dead and gone.
Starmer’s office told the Sunday Times that, “The world has changed, globalization is over and we are now in a new era.”
“We’ve got to demonstrate that our approach, a more active Labour government, a more reformist government, can provide the answers for people in every part of this country,” his office added, emphasizing a pivot toward proactive governance.
Starmer’s admission, albeit late, follows President Donald Trump’s tariffs announcement, which slapped a 10% fee on all goods from the United Kingdom.
In a high-profile speech this week, Starmer will sharply criticize Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on the UK, while belatedly conceding the shortcomings of free trade and unfettered mass migration.
Starmer’s upcoming remarks come alongside persistent efforts by UK officials to finalize a trade agreement with the United States. Downing Street has confirmed that negotiations are in an “advanced stage,” with officials indicating, per The Guardian, that the core framework of a deal is largely settled.
