If the richest people suck all the money out of the economy and put it in assets, what do you think happens?If you take people who have low value skills and force employers to pay them more, what do you think happens?

Brexit has done its damage and continues to this day. Fortunately there are less greedy people attempting to reverse the damage and get back on board with our closest and best trading partners. Not everyone is intent on self destruction.The country is doomed.
According to most economists, most businessmen17,410,742 idiots - according to you? The country is doomed.
I was ignorant of the facts at the time.You are not making sense, you said you were
ignorant -
I said I could see there was not enough info -
you said yes there was
So you were not ignorant - you were just dumb. Is that what you are saying.

did you read it?According to most economists, most businessmen
by 2025 brexit has
1) reduced Uk gdp by 6% to 8%
2) reduced investment by between 12% and 18%
3) reduced employment by 3% to 4%
4) reduced productivity by 3% to 4%
this is a key factor in why Labour govt are having to increase taxes to meet the cost of public services, it also is a key reason why economy is flatlining
but no doubt the right wingers on here who voted for Boris Johnson will carry on blaming Labour for the current situation
This paper examines the impact of the UK's decision to leave the European Union (Brexit) in 2016.Using almost a decade of data since the referendum, we combine simulations based on macro data with estimates derived from micro data collected through our Decision Maker Panel survey. These estimates suggest that by 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%. These large negative impacts reflect a combination of elevated uncertainty, reduced demand, diverted management time, and increased misallocation of resources from a protracted Brexit process. Comparing these with contemporary forecasts – providing a rare macro example to complement the burgeoning microliterature of social science predictions – shows that these forecasts were accurate over a 5-yearhorizon, but they underestimated the impact over a decade.

YesYou said
"What's wrong with a road sweeper being able to live (not the highlife. But just ordinary) on his/her wages with no need for benefit top ups."
You say you meant a low paid job, yet your post specifically says "road sweeper". We have road sweepers at our place who don't need handouts, good grafters and good lads too.
Are Reform currently ahead in the polls?17,410,742 idiots - according to you? The country is doomed.

Like a union ?If you take people who have low value skills and force employers to pay them more, what do you think happens?
You will never be able to weasel out of the fact you YOU voted for brexit You were fooled by Farage. I was not.I was ignorant of the facts at the time.
According to you….you had the facts but couldn’t understand them.
In reality, you were ignorant of the EU, the Single Market, the Customs Union, non tariff barriers and you are still ignorant now.

Unions have control over more than just pay.Like a union ?
The employers hate it. The public hates it too if it's jobs paid by the government taxes
If a job is worth doing, should the wage not be enough to live on ?
You support Farage now.You will never be able to weasel out of the fact you YOU voted for brexit You were fooled by Farage. I was not.

No mention of Reform............youve given the game awayI dont like labour I dont like greens - cons are useless, wont vote lib dem ever again.
not trueThere is no system oppressing you. Your capacity to earn is down to you and your motivation and ability. There will always be people who can't be bothered and people who simply can't. Unfortunately, a government who focuses on lifting up the can't be bothered, demotivates everyone else.
