The aim of this blog is to get my point across in around 800 words – so I’m going to try to do what most politicians fail miserably at: be direct, honest and cut through the noise!
This month’s UK election result was both surprising and unsurprising. With Labour winning 412 seats, it has been dubbed the “loveless landslide”. Keir Starmer has won a massive victory with over three million fewer votes than Jeremy Corbyn got when he lost in 2017. It shows how unloved the previous administration was.
As for markets, the hope is this is a true catalyst for change for unloved UK equities. In a nutshell, our equity market has been one of the least desirable for many years, thanks to the uncertainty of Brexit and an under-representation of growth and technology companies that have driven markets.
Timing is…
