Brexit has nothing to do with rising mortgages, interest rates and homeless people living in the middle of the street in tents. That’s not the real reason, it’s just what certain politicians want us to believe,” Ben told
Mentally challenged.
Or satire? Please tell me it’s satire.
He’s right. All those things are due to either Tory incompetence or war effects
UK is no worse off than any peers
In fact, the future looks to be ok according to the imf. The economy has to slow next year to kill off inflation, but after that, and with a Labour government there are reasons to be cheerful. Time for Lexit.
Solely looking at GDP says little about the impacts of Brexit, especially on the impact it has on individuals. While it tells us the UK fares well on production capacity and economic growth, it says little on the welfare and well being of her citizens.
There is of course a lot of disparity of the origins in the data, and Tory governing most likely have its effects as well.
Point is, GDP is not a good measure on whether things are looking bright for individuals.
production capacity
No. Purely finance. The rest of the country exists solely to support the financial sector (by making it look like we’re a country and not a tax haven with a massive casino).
The forecasted measure that the OBR decided to use to judge the impact was GDP per capita though
I was merely pointing out that GDP is a tool to look at the economy as a whole, but it can not visualise more specific trends or inequalities, let alone those caused by Brexit.
If any have been caused by brexit. 95% of UK companies don’t export to the EU after all.
There are definitely effects on the British economy because of Brexit, just alone the loss in confidence in the British economy after the vote and the uncertainty following it.
Yep, a delay in investment. But just a delay, not actually any loss
They are so small they can’t be discerned in the figures though. Especially when compared to covid and russian invasion
Not surprising, we make fuck all.
How many import from the EU?
Still in the top ten globally for manufacturing
Yep, plenty import, still do.
Sorry, but Lexit is not a thing that can happen. It would be lovely but we live in this world right here and you’re hanging your hat on fucking Starmer to save you?
It is though
Can’t even the read the article. First there’s the cookie popup then another popup about subscribing and I couldn’t even find the x for getting rid of that overlay BS. Can’t be bothered to open this on a proper computer so that I could dissect the site to make it barely tolerable.
OP should have copied the text in here, because the devs who made the site appear to hate the users a bit too much.
Same. Downvoted because of it
“I voted Leave because I believe the European institutions are not representative of the British people and their needs, they’re too distant, government and policies should be as local as possible,”
Didnt the UK promote many of those rules and could veto the ones it didnt like? I suppose this guy doesnt like the government in whitehall and would rather laws be specific to districts and whatnot then?
