I'm no soothsayer, but I suppose certain things are inevitable; and they aren't always nice!
There will be political scandals, accusations of celebs misbehaving, and certain royals making idiots of themselves. There will be 'shock-horror' celeb divorces, weather-based catastrophes, and embarrassing revelations from unforeseen quarters. There will also be 'rap singers' with silly names, killing each other.
Putin will do more saber-rattling, but whether he will escalate WW3 or not is anyone's guess. Trump will accede to the American throne, and will probably broker some peace formula between Russia and Ukraine. Watch his space!
I quite expect Israel will also come to some agreement with Gaza, and re-establish previous supplies of services, food, water, medical help, and hi-tech stuff. With Hamas and Hezbollah almost eradicated, Israel can now concentrate more on Iran.
Back in the UK, illegal immigration will continue to rise, as will taxes, business closures, and unemployment. The Socialists will squeeze every last penny out of us 'for our own good'.
Weather will be 'changeable'. There will be both drought and flooding. Record highs and record lows.
Mostly, there will be dissatisfaction, with people taking to the streets. Political pundits will continue to predict that Starmer will resign. They said he would be gone by Christmas, now they're saying he'll be gone before the end of 2025.
All in all it'll be another tediously annoying year, with price rises across the board, and services diminishing. There will be major problems with the NHS, schools, and domestic services. Bureaucratic Bosses will receive record salaries. There will also be strikes from the major Unions, and our farmers will continue their protests.
So, that's it then. Another typical year ahead. Let's just keep our fingers crossed that some of the more unpredictable world leaders don't have tantrums, and do something stupid.
Good luck!

And you'll get out of all that turmoil for 3 months and spend the summer doing laps in the pool basking in the sun, drinking red wine, eating good simple food and enjoying Billy's antics.
For the rest of the year turn off the news, take your walks with Billy, enjoy the simpler pleasures and keep on blogging.
I feel your predictions are unduly pessimistic. Us Labors have everything under control and our leader the Great Queer Starmer is having another Great Reset this week and if you wait until the end of February he is planning to announce a Great, Great Reset.
We'll see. I do hope I get those 3 months away. Otherwise, yes, stop watching the news!
Starmer did promise us 'Change', and he's definitely delivering. What he failed to say was that the 'change' would mean a fall in everyone's (except big Union members) living standards. Hey Ho!
That's a lot for us all to look forward to.
You forgot to mention that Putin puppet Musk taking over everything....
Sounds about right. The most unpredictable thing seems to me to be the Musk Trump relationship.
I shall ignore all the bad stuff and concentrate on training our rescue dog that I shall be collecting in 2 hours! We lost our beloved schnauzer to cancer on 17th Dec and small white 6 yr old boy ( bichon) is coming to live with us and hopefully heal our hearts a little.
I missed-out a lot.
He's a strange man. I think (as do most people) that he's getting far too involved in world politics.
Maybe Musk should stand as a political candidate in the next election of wherever he lives.
That sounds lovely. Bichons have a good reputation, so I'm sure you'll enjoy his company. Our Billy is 6 as well.
It's like we have all climbed aboard the latest ride at Alton Towers - The Magical Mystery Tour. Strap in lads and lasses!
There's a lot happening; lets just hope we don't all fall off.
I think my world will shrink to those around me I love. Letting loving and making them happy as well as myself my primary goals.
Keep the faith , dearest Cro, good will happen as well as the bad. I will be here cheering you on.
He has young children, I think he sees a way to help make the world better for them and is standing to take part in being the solution.
I do try to ignore the bad, but can't stop myself writing about it. There's so much of it about.
I no longer watch the news. DH and kids keep my updated. Going to keep the faith... hope for the best... and pray that people (especially those in charge) use common sense and kindness. Is this a naive approach? Maybe.
Not naïve, but wishful thinking. People like Putin don't know what 'common sense' is.
I truly believe the world is going through a "reset" and it is going to be difficult for many people.
Change is the one constant and as shown in your list, changes will be numerous.
I think there are too many people in the world. Sadly, wars, etc, are simply a way of reducing the population.
The Canadian PM "resigned" today. Going to be an interesting ninety days until our Parliament sits again and we can get on with the bloody election.
