Must be difficult rescuing the country from brexit disaster when you actually never planned / expected it to actually happen

So "Bregretful" is now a word!

https://unherd.com/2023/01/introduci...-britain-2023/

Quite astonishing, only a single constituency thinks that Brexit wasn't a mistake, with two other constituencies split 50/50. In the remaining 629 constituencies, the majority now believe Brexit was a mistake!

I'd be interested to know how many Brexit supporters on here now regret their vote (under James O'Briens favoured motto - contempt for the conman, compassion for the conned)!

The only die hards supporters are those old farts frothing at the the mouth with how we haven't broken free from Brussels tentacles and its only this thats holding the country back

They never actually elucidate however . Presumably its the Singapore-on-Thames model , who knows


Russian economy doing better , thanks to us ...

There is underlying issues that's not being raised in all of this alleged change of mood:

Whilst in the EU, the EU was blamed on every hardship, hinderance and hypothetical belief.
Now, any issues we suffer today are being blamed on Brexit....

...The problem, like blaming the EU beforehand is that not everything happening now is due to Brexit; Since 2019 there's been a clusterf**k of issues and the crux is we're all worse off now than five years ago with it without Brexit.

The biggest problems and fears for people across Europe are the same as those in the UK. So the question is not are we worse off out of the EU, but BY HOW MUCH?!

Personally I think it's just another con to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, I'm sure our puppet masters are making a very large fortune out of the de-valuation of the pound.

Brexit/ covid/ Usa war with Russia

It would be nice if we could exacly say the impact of Brexit, but it is true that Covid and the war in Ukraine have somewhat muddied the waters, so it is very difficult to say what has impacted what and by how much, but it's also true to say that Covid and the war are being used by the Tories to divert attention away from Brexit.

It is true that Covid and the war have impacted everybody, but not everybody is doing as badly as the UK right now. The raw facts though; inflation is higher in the UK than other EU countries. The UK is the only country in the G7 that will be in recession this year and growth in the UK is worse than Russia. Investment in the UK has pretty much dried up with the UK car industry pretty much dead as manufacturers such a Mini and JLR moving production to EU, Honda has left UK, Nissan also looks to be on the way out.

Generally, the UK is really looking like the sick man of Europe again. While everyone is struggling following the global conditions of the past few years, the UK is struggling that bit more. The only major difference for the UK than other countries is Brexit and the political turmoil and uncertainty in the UK created by Brexit. The BoE statement last week following the latest interest rate hike is that the effect of Brexit is as bad as predicted, but has impacted more quickly than predicted.

Time will be the ultimate judge. The effects of Covid and the War will be short term and the longer the UK remains in decline relative to its EU neighbours, the less the government can excuse the decline on anything other than Brexit.

I'd agree with that, and add a lack of leadership when the country most needed it...May popping her head above the parapet to protest her innocence, and blaming others for her lack of vision and ability does not help with our international standing either.

I cannot envisage a Tory victory in the next GE, so Labour need to get their ****e together NOW so they don't **** it up...but then I was wrong about the leave vote, so what do I know

It's strange, because I can't really envisage a Labour victory in the next GE. They might get in, but lets face it, it wont be because people think they'll do a sterling job and right all the 'wrongs'.

Country has been sliding further and further into the toilet with this lot at the helm...'fear' of the left perpetuated by the Tories is the only reason they have won the last couple of GEs. We have just got used to this as the norm, but history suggests its the red teams turn...it will be interesting to see how long they stay in.

I can also confirm that my local supermarket here is Germany is fully stocked with all manor of vegetables, with multiple varieties of tomatoes, big, small and funny shaped, two different types of cucumber, lots of varieties of lettuce including icebergs and to top it off, no discernable price change!

There are many reasons for the UK shortage that come together to create the perfect storm, but definitely one of those reasons is Brexit, particularly with non EU countries such as Morocco prioritising the EU bloc over supply to the UK because of market size.

Would there still be supply issues in the UK without Brexit - Probably!
Would the supply issues be less bad if the UK had not left the EU - Probably!
Did the Tories lie to you about food prices being lower after Brexit - Definitely!

That does help, your location and behaviour suggests past exposure to Benzodiazepinesa, the crash is particularly hard, but with time you will recover. We are here for you during this difficult time.

So Rishi has done a new deal with the EU to fix Boris' half-baked oven-ready deal.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics...ets-trade-deal

Northern Ireland is in the unbelievably special position, the unique position in the entire world in having privileged access not just to the UK home market, which is the fifth biggest in the world, but also the European Union single market.
So now he's trying to flog it to the public by saying how great it is to have access to both your domestic market and the whole of the EU! Just like we all used to have before we left the EU then! So NI is set to boom while the rest of the UK goes down the pan!
