UK Debt Doom Loop

[divs4ever]

What are these forecasts based on?

Putin and Trump have forced Europe to increase defence spending.

Would the Conservatives decrease defence spending and look weak in the face of a Russian threat?

I doubt it.

the Conservatives were too busy stalling/reversing Brexit ( a very brave move that had a tiny chance of avoiding this carnage

the current Conservatives were/are part of the problem

one might increase defense efficiency by just stopping spending on grandiose projects they have two aircraft carriers ( not counting Cyprus .. the island ) which may or may not manage to sail into an international warship , AND they are talking conscription ( including women ) because the public are unwilling to enlist .,

Russia has already told them the plan to subdue the UK ... a nuclear torpedo at the shoreline raising a 500 meter tall tsunami , tornado fighters and Challenger tanks will not stop that

currently the RAF are too busy refueling Israeli airstrikes and playing in NATO war-games

so the inflation plus border closure attempt by Trump.
is there any other way?
even if budgets were balanced expenses/income, the sheer levels of debt interests destroy any hope to have a reduced debt by year end...
so just let inflation run

not to mention the justifiably reduced appetite for gilts ( bonds ) and concerns the UK will go for IMF bailout ( the second one )
