The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) forecasts that the US national debt will hit $50.7 trillion by 2034, but the true figure "surely will be much bigger," wrote William Pesek, an award-winning journalist and author, for the Asia Times. The CBO projected on June 18 that US debt would reach 122 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) by 2034, far surpassing the nation's record-high public debt-to-GDP ratio of 106 percent in the aftermath of World War II.

In 1997, Tony Blair's election "pledge card" included a promise to cut NHS waiting lists, then totalling 1.16 million. Keir Starmer's "first steps for change" include a similar pledge to cut waiting times, but his task is on a different scale, with 7.5 million people currently awaiting treatment. How did things get so bad?

In launching Labour's manifesto, Keir Starmer sought to shed his party's "tax and spend" image. Instead, Starmer pressed home that Labour's core mission is to increase UK economic growth - the manifesto mentions the term more than 200 times. Some readers may recall Labour's 1964 manifesto, whose theme tune was Let's Go with Labour.

Representatives from the International Monetary Fund began a week-long visit to Kiev on Wednesday to demand a series of draconian economic reforms, including the further devaluation of Ukraine's embattled currency - the hryvnia, a cut in interest rates, more power for the tax man and other measures aimed at at least partially digging the country out of its massive budget deficit, which ballooned to some $38 billion, or 20%+ of GDP, in 2024.
