This is an insightful article. It also highlights the risk of the hard-left, Labour Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn doing further damage to the UK during a state visit from China’s president next week. Let’s hope that Corbyn is given a hand to tie his bow-tie for the Queen’s state banquet.

Corbynism is already damaging UK interests with loss of military sales. Soon financial markets will start to factor in the ‘Corbyn Risk’ to financial projections and asset prices.

According to this interesting article from the UK’s Daily Mail, a team of Left-wing economists has been chosen to advise socialist Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and his Marxist shadow chancellor, John McDonnell as they seek to gain credibility.

Some of these liberal economists are world-famous, so it will be interesting to see what transpires. Of course, there will be a major difference between the economics and the politics. Corbyn himself is not strong on economics and as for Marxist shadow chancellor John McDonnell, I fear that he could easily destroy the UK’s economic strength by just opening his mouth.

Any thoughts on Corbynomics?
