My best case is a Democrat trifecta in the US. In 2021-22, we saw how progressive #Biden could be with a cooperative Congress. I expect he'll be more assertive if he gets a second chance.
That will likely spur Starmer and Labour leftwards, to maintain the special relationship.
We won't see the end of capitalism, but likely real progress on climate, workers rights, healthcare, wealth tax and more.
