Brexit Is a Complete failure

Thank **** UK sold it's 40% share in 2015. Another brexit bonus.

The brexit vote was in 2016

Exactly, imagine if we'd sold our share in 2017 or 2018.

If the price of food and energy go up, nurses can't pout up their alary to cover the cost. If material prices, or overheads, go up a tradesman will simply pass on the cost (i.e. inflation) to the customer. What is the difference in principle?

There's always somebody else willing to do the job for less. As building sites close down this year, a lot of people will be willing to work for less.

Eurostar are a billion in debt, they've been in trouble for a number of years. Sales collapsed during covid and now they can't recover due to ...

...due to the harmful folly of brexit

Sounds like they had more than an inkling of which way the wind blew.

And we'll be back to 2010/11 again - which for those who aren't in the know say building work very scarce and skilled men being offered rates at 50p or £1 above the hourly rate which labourers were being paid (and they in turn were just above the legal minimum). And no, this ISN'T happening in the rest of Europe

Cummings was responsible for Boris's demise.

So the fact that he's a serial liar had nothing to do with it?

Eurostar are a billion in debt, they've been in trouble for a number of years. Sales collapsed during covid and now they can't recover due to the restrictions the EU are enforcing.

The restrictions are the result of the UK deciding that it wanted to be a "third country", so any restrictions are down to the UK, not the EU. The EU isn't punishing us - we did this to ourselves! No wonder nobody wants to invest here any longer

Boris needed zero help from Cummins to implode. He does it on a regular basis. The daft lying oaf can't help himself.

So, because of Brexit, British workers are getting 30% extra. I see that as a Brexit bonus, don’t you?

So you support the strikes.

 

[Mottie]

So you support the strikes.

Essential service strikes, not the greedy train drivers

offering them fools gold

Rees Mogg said “goods will be cheaper”

 

[Notch7]

So you support unions to negotiate fair wages for workers.

So the problem of poor wages is decades of destruction of unions, nothing to do with EU.



it’s odd how economy and wage growth was strong during last Labour govt but terrible during last 12 years of Tory govt. Yet you blame FOM.

Exactly, imagine if we'd sold our share in 2017 or 2018.

We would be even worse off.

The majority of brexit problems relate to leaving Single Market.

But is the cost of a new house, or even an extension, going to go down?
