What’s Going to Happen in UK Politics in 2024?

2023 was politically quiet, marked by Tory infighting. Next year, expect more turmoil with by-elections, local elections, and the General Election. This video explores the potential outcomes for UK politics.

Our mission is to explain news and politics in an impartial, efficient, and accessible way, balancing import and interest while fostering independent thought.

My prediction for 2024 is that MPs will accept their payrise with the same old excuse "It was the decision of the IPSA and not us", as if they would refuse it!

The current system is showing signs of strain due to government and federal policies. In the coming days, the banking crisis would need to reach an unprecedented scale for the FED to avoid raising interest rates. However, that seems unlikely; an increase appears imminent, potentially leading to a market downturn. Anticipate more challenging times in the latter half of 2024, marked by market turbulence, escalating inflation, and potential bank failures. I'm curious: will the swift interest rate hike benefit a value-driven investor, or is it wiser to steer clear of stocks temporarily?

Hopefully Sunak will locate his cojones and call a general election, and take us out of our misery.

Regardless of what you want to say 2024 will be a year to watch out for globally with so many important elections happening globally

As a West Midlander, I of course remind you all that the London Mayoral Election is 1 of 10 Regional Mayor's up for grabs, with two new one's in the East Midlands (Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire) and North Yorkshire, with the North of Tyne Mayor being expanded to become the North East Mayor. This is alongside 35 or so Police and Crime Comissioner polls in England and Wales. Safe to say May 2nd is going to be an absolute bumper day even if the General isn't then and for my part, I am hoping to get on to my City Council in Wolverhampton in my 4th election, where I missed out by a mere 46 votes this year.

'labour are more trusted on immigration'

if that doesn't tell you how badly the Tories have screwed up then I don't know what will.

[drewjohnson]

If you are a tory you CANNOT claim to be a centrist

[Phil_AKA_ThundyUK]

Labour win or lose - we all lose either way.

[emmanueloke]

Can we talk about the police officer in the clip of 10 downing street seeing a cat, looking around for witnesses, then petting the cat🤣🤣🤣🤣

The one thing we know is the tories have done no work for so long that it is unlikely we’ll see a change to our living standards. Potentially more layoffs as businesses continue to struggle with a shrinking economy with people having less money to spend on eating out, eating in, clothing.

[SegunSpiff]

We need to normalize a simple lifestyle and stop normalizing debt. Huge SUVs, huge houses and private universities are simply not necessary. I live within my budget and I sleep better at night knowing that if I lose my job tomorrow, ' be fine. I didn't buy the biggest house. I bought the one I could comfortably repay

I can see 2024 being a very bumpy ride for all. We have a mortgage crises that is set to continue, do the Tories really want to be held responsible for that, if we don't get a May election? As for Wellingborough (and Blackpool South because it's inevitable, imo), as long as Labour does not get complacent, they should be able to pull off a big win.

[willhovell]

Don't forget the negative Siddiq Khan effect in London, linked to the failure to take Uxbridge?

[jackmonaghan]

It would be funny if Labour gets the most seats but the likes of Starmer and Wes Streeting lose their seats (given how unpopular they are among their constituents).

[chocochef]

It seems the UK will be having a “change” general election next year. While across the pond we’re likely going to have a rematch election between two geriatric men.😮‍💨

[napoleonibonaparte]

I misheard "bullying offences" as "boning offences".

[TheBT]

I have never heard the words interesting and Wellingborough ever used in the same general vicinity. Wellingborough is a town that you have thought so little about I could have made a John Oliver joke saying 'That's not Wellingborough, that's Rushden'

It's an irrelevant place that no one ever visits.

On an unrelated note, guess who is driving to that constituency on Monday to spend Christmas with her family

<--This lass right here.

The worst outcome is another coalition government in any configuration. But I think it's safe to say the tories have burnt their stockpile of goodwill. Sunak has done a good job to stabilise his party, but not the nation that literally feel fed up.

[AdamWebb]

things will get worse before they get better. i think this country needs <5 years of hell with Labour to realise that BOTH top parties are rubbish and will start voting for another option.

[nataliewatson]

This is so blatantly England-centric. A relatively quiet year !?! Have you people completely forgotten everything that went down with Sturgeon and the SNP!?!?! The resignations and arrest of the former first minister, her husband the party chairman and party treasurer on financial crimes is a HUGE disruptive event to the political landscape! But hay, it only happened north of the border, so I suppose it's not really worth dwelling on...
