The German President’s historic state visit to London underscored the strength of Anglo-German relations through both grand ceremony and meaningful political dialogue.

The UK government continues to borrow to cover the gap between spending and tax revenue, with October 2025 borrowing reaching £17.4 billion. National debt now stands at around £2.6 trillion, roughly equal to the country’s annual GDP, and rising interest payments—£8.4 billion in October—limit spending on public services. While borrowing supports investment and economic growth, policymakers aim to reduce debt relative to GDP over the next five years.
