A psychic who correctly predicted the Covid-19 pandemic, Brexit, and even Queen Elizabeth IIâs death has given Metro his biggest predictions for 2026.
For more than 30 years, Craig Hamilton-Parker, also known as the ânew Nostradamusâ, has worked publicly as a medium and futurist, with the uncanny ability to predict the future.
His top prediction for the UK next year is a financial crash that will trigger a political breakdown.
Craig told Metro: âA spring-summer market shock will hit Britain harder than the rest of the West, collapsing confidence in the government.â
He sees this leading to mass protests, public anger over immigration and living costs, eventually causing a constitutional crisis when the government resists calling an election.
In other political news, Craig has predicted that Starmerâs government will collapse under infighting.

He foretells Sir Keir Starmer losing control as internal Labour rivalries explode with fractures between Ed Miliband, David Lammy and other party members.
Craig told Metro: âA temporary Prime Minister, likely Yvette Cooper, will stabilise the government briefly before a surprise general election.â
Following on from this collapse of Starmerâs government, Craig predicts that when the public finally forces an election, âa political upset puts Reform UK narrowly ahead.â
He sees Reform UK forming a government only by relying on the Conservatives.
âReform expands further as figures like Liz Truss, Suella Braverman and Jacob Rees-Mogg join the party,â Craig told Metro.

Amidst this political change, Craig predicts major unrest over immigration and culture wars, with tensions reaching their highest point in decades.
He sees anti-immigration riots erupting across multiple UK cities.
Craig said: âA renewed Christian revival emerges in reaction to Islamist influence, and a vocal European speaker calling for âa ban on Islamâ becomes a lightning rod for controversy.â
His final UK prediction is King Charlesâ death, which will send shockwaves through the nation.

He also sees hidden scandals and long-suppressed truths coming to light.
âDespite turmoil, a renewed interest in traditional Christian faith rises, becoming part of a broader spiritual reset in the UK,â Craig said.
Worldwide 2026 predictions
Craig also shared several predictions for 2026, the biggest being the burst of the âAI bubbleâ in the spring.
After a dramatic correction in AI and tech stocks, a short and sharp global downturn will occur, he predicts.
âA leading cryptocurrency collapses by up to 70%, shaking confidence in the industry worldwide.â
Although he expects it to be brief, he sees the crash exposing deep structural weaknesses in global markets.
Years ago, Craig predicted that Ukraine would reclaim most of its territory, while Russia would keep a narrow corridor to Crimea.

He still envisions this scenario unfolding after a surprise Trump-Putin deal.
This would end the Russia-Ukraine war, but as it stops, he says âtensions will simply shift elsewhere, especially towards the Far East.â
In China, Craig foresees a period of âvisible internal fractureâ, marked by unpaid workers, frozen bonds and a major infrastructure disaster.
He sees this disaster potentially being a rail crash or something tied to the Three Gorges Dam.
Also, he predicts a senior official disappearing or dying mysteriously, and that President Xi Jinpingâs health will visibly deteriorate, which would plant âthe seeds of a future Chinese breakup.â

Across Europe and North America, Craig predicts widespread unrest and Anti-Muslim riots erupting.
He sees farmers and students revolting, particularly in France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.
Meanwhile, in the United States, he said: âleftist activists and Islamist factions clash with conservative groups, creating a cultural civil war.
âA âNew York virusâ incident adds further chaos.â
Finally, he foresees a transformational phase in the Middle East, Iran and Syria.
He told Metro: âIranâs regime begins to collapse under economic pressure and mass national unity.
âA new flag, a cultural rebirth and the symbolic return of Reza Pahlavi mark the countryâs shift back toward its ancient Persian identity.
âSyria begins a âPhoenix Projectâ, rebuilding its coastline into a prosperous resort region.â
