Brexit working

Anti-EU newspaper publishes anti-EU article shock.

Who could have seen that coming?
 
A carefully selected set of data to support a Brexit supporting article. :rolleyes:
Of the 27 EU members, only about 12 EU nations had a higher inflation figure than UK. 8 of those were Eastern European. The other 15 nations had a lower inflation rate. :rolleyes:
And on that basis, the reporter suggests that UK is doing better than the rest.

France, UK's nearest neighbour, and of a similar economy only had about half the inflation rate of UK. Does that mean France is doing twice as good as UK? :rolleyes:

What are their growth predictions like?, how's inward tech investment going?, are Nissan moving production to France given Renault are their largest shareholder? hows their submarine trade going?, have they got enough fishing licences yet?.

how about we look at the whole picture, taking 2015 as the baseline:

Global consensus predictions on Brexit corroborated. Again. IMF January 22 WEO even downgrades Brexit apologist’s ’21 optimism. Again. OBR’s estimates on a 4% productivity gap seem about right.

Some of the growth according to the OBR is down to forced saving - covid limiting what people spend so they have surplus cash to spend, possibly reduced debt too.

I think the UK's main problem really is inflation but they should also keep an eye on pay levels to prevent those from pushing us into an inflation spiral. They should use interest rates to control this. The question then becomes will this cause a property price crash. If energy costs are neglected I suspect inflation would still be running at higher levels than it should be. My conclusion is that something needs to give or inflation will just get worse.
 
London retains global financial crown in new Brexit boost (msn.com)

London has retained its crown as the world’s top destination for financial and professional services in terms of its overall offering in another boost for the City.

The Square Mile outperformed other major financial hubs, including New York, Singapore and Paris, as firms quickly adapted to Brexit, according to a new report by the City of London Corporation.

The study examined the global business offering of each city, taking into account 95 metrics including those in nascent fields such as green finance activity.

It found that the City had an “unmatched international financial reach”, while it also excelled as a hub for tech and innovation and its share of headquarters of Fortune Global 500 companies rose by a third over the past year.

It also remained Europe’s leading destination for investment in financial services and was the world’s leading foreign exchange trading centre.

The City was given an overall competitiveness score of 61, followed by New York on 58 and Singapore on 53. Paris received a score of just 41.
 
When UK and EU lorry drivers refuse to cross The Channel because it's too much aggro, what are we going to eat? Can we survive on sovereignty?


Video shows what MSM are trying to hide, and these massive queues are happening in January which is traditionally a quiet time for cross-Channel freight.

More and more it's becoming obvious that Brexit is way too complex to expect the masses to vote on it in a plebiscite.

London is great, and all those who benefit from a great London are also great. Apparently Boris introduced a 'levelling up' policy whereby his select Tory chums have money pumped into their wealthy constituencies. One of his wealthy buddies had his long meandering drive resurfaced with public money.

Meanwhile those away from London are all as still as poor as pi$$ and getting poorer. Hooray for London though.(y)

Brexit - still a huge pile of poo and getting worse.
