The Black Hole

As it is returning to Earth, the Labour Party discovers a black hole with the apparently abandoned and long-lost UK economy nearby, the same economy that Gordon Brown was aboard when it vanished 14 years ago. Commander Starmer decides to investigate and finds that there is a mysterious null gravity field surrounding the economy that allows it to defy the massive gravitational pull of the black hole called false accounting. The economy briefly strays outside the field and is damaged by the intense isolationism , forcing it to emergency dock with the EU, which it long ago abandoned.  

A subsequent media storm and the explosion of the economy's overstressed NHS cause the economy to fail. Without its null-gravity bubble, the UK quickly starts to break apart under the black hole's huge financial forces.  Within the black hole, the economy completely breaks apart.
