The United States escapes this by being a vast market with more robust demographics while Europe and Japan are ageing — one solution is immigration but it’s a highly problematic political issue in the UK. So, in Britain currently, there is no clear route to growth beyond 1% or 2% — we are not talking about anything close to the 6% or 7% seen in India.

The Supreme Court did not dismiss — as Trump had wanted — the indictment alleging he illegally schemed to cling to power after he lost to President Joe Biden. But the ruling still amounts to a major victory for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, whose legal strategy has focused on delaying the proceedings until after the election. The timing of the trial matters because if Trump defeats Biden, he could appoint an attorney general who would seek the dismissal of this case and the other federal prosecutions he faces. Or Trump could potentially order a pardon for himself.
