Keir Starmer · Prime Minister
Services-dominant Economy · GDP $3.5T
Keir Starmer has elevated coping to an art form. Announces an 'AI Opportunities Action Plan' roughly every six weeks, each with fewer actual policies than the last. The UK's entire economic strategy is apparently 'become an AI superpower' while funding nothing.

PROPERLY SCREWED
80% service-sector GDP propped up by finance and professional services — the two industries most exposed to automation. The safety net was designed for factory closures in the 1980s, not white-collar obsolescence at scale.

Policy Assessment
Starmer copes at an elite level. The 'AI Opportunities Action Plan' is a masterclass in saying everything while committing to nothing. Promised AI 'growth zones,' then quietly shelved them. The UK's economy is 80%+ services — finance, legal, consulting, creative — all sitting directly in the LLM kill zone. Actual retraining budget: laughable. The NHS is simultaneously the country's largest employer and its most automation-ripe institution. Starmer's plan for this? More speeches about 'seizing the opportunity.'
