The main issue with the UK is it's class system has three levels of mobility- non working class, the working class and the middle class. The upper class has always had the power and control but felt a need to make the middle class, who generate most the wealth, feel that they had some input post WW2. Even Thatcherism was on the side of the middle classes to some degree.
Since 2008 this has changed massively. Now it's a small group of the upper classes who have realised they don't need to care about the middle classes at all who have taken the UK back to a quasi-feudal system where they decide who gets in power in all political parties and what gets on our screens.
The most recent example of this was during the Conservative leadership election where Conservative Home polled it's members and Kemi Badenoch was by far the preferred leader of it's members (Liz and Rishi were bottom). The party which has no obligation to do what it's paying members preferred chose to appoint the lowest two scoring leaders in quick succession. You now have Conservative voters who are going to vote them out because they felt ignored.
If Keir Starmer said "I'll consider another EU referendum" then I'd fully believe that the Labour Party hadn't been got to, but as they haven't, I think they have been nobbled too.
You can expect fewer Brits abroad because we will be poorer, but drinking more heavily just to unwind from what it's like living in the UK. I hope they behave themselves, but I don't have much confidence.
