## Resource

UK economists warn of a looming debt crisis within six years, with a 50-50 chance of hitting serious financial trouble by 2030—potentially triggering tax hikes, spending cuts, or even an IMF bailout. Debt is projected to reach £3 trillion by September, ballooning past 100% of GDP, fueled by spending that outpaces new tax revenue. Former officials and IMF experts say external aid is no longer hypothetical but imminent. Political risks loom too, as radical economic shifts could destabilize markets. The government counters, citing reduced borrowing and IMF-upgraded growth forecasts as proof their plan is working. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
