A self-proclaimed psychic, who claims to have accurately foreseen major events like the Covid-19 pandemic and the death of Queen Elizabeth II, has laid out a series of dramatic and unsettling predictions for the year 2026.
UK Turmoil: Financial Crash and Royal Shock
Craig Hamilton-Parker, dubbed the 'new Nostradamus', has told Metro that Britain faces a severe financial shock in the spring and summer of 2026. He believes this market collapse will hit the UK harder than other Western nations, eroding public trust in the government entirely.
This economic disaster is predicted to spark mass protests, with public fury directed at immigration policies and the soaring cost of living. Hamilton-Parker envisions this unrest triggering a constitutional crisis, as the government resists calls for a general election.
In a detailed political forecast, he states that Sir Keir Starmer's government will collapse due to internal Labour Party fighting. Rivalries between figures like Ed Miliband and David Lammy will allegedly cause the Prime Minister to lose control. A temporary leader, likely Yvette Cooper, would briefly take charge before a surprise election is called.
The psychic's vision for that election is a narrow victory for Reform UK, which would only be able to form a government with Conservative support. He predicts high-profile defections to Reform, including former Tory ministers Liz Truss, Suella Braverman, and Jacob Rees-Mogg.
Amid this political chaos, Hamilton-Parker warns of the worst social tensions in decades, culminating in anti-immigration riots across multiple UK cities. He also foresees a Christian revival emerging as a reaction to perceived Islamist influence, alongside controversial calls from a European figure to ban Islam.
His final and most sombre prediction for the nation is the death of King Charles III, an event he says will send shockwaves throughout the United Kingdom and bring hidden scandals to light.
Global Upheaval: AI Bubble Bursts and War Ends
On the world stage, Hamilton-Parker predicts 2026 will be a year of significant economic and geopolitical shifts. His headline global forecast is the bursting of the 'AI bubble' in the spring, leading to a sharp, if brief, worldwide downturn.
This crash would see a leading cryptocurrency plummet by up to 70%, exposing structural weaknesses in global markets. He also reiterates a past prediction about the war in Ukraine, stating it will end after a surprise deal between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
Ukraine would reclaim most of its territory, but Russia would maintain a narrow corridor to Crimea. However, he warns that global tensions would then shift towards the Far East.
For China, he predicts a period of visible internal fracture, marked by economic distress, a major infrastructure disaster—possibly linked to the Three Gorges Dam—and the mysterious disappearance or death of a senior official. He also claims President Xi Jinping's health will noticeably decline.
Unrest in the West and Middle East Transformation
The forecast extends to widespread civil unrest in Europe and North America. Hamilton-Parker predicts anti-Muslim riots, alongside revolts by farmers and students in nations like France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.
In the United States, he foresees a 'cultural civil war' as leftist activists and Islamist factions clash with conservative groups, with a mysterious 'New York virus' incident adding to the chaos.
Finally, he envisions a transformational phase in the Middle East. Iran's regime is predicted to collapse under economic pressure, leading to a national rebirth under the symbolic return of Reza Pahlavi and a renewed Persian identity. Meanwhile, Syria would begin a 'Phoenix Project' to rebuild its coastline into a prosperous resort region.
While these predictions from Craig Hamilton-Parker are presented as psychic visions, they paint a stark and tumultuous picture of a potential future for the UK and the world in 2026.
