    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).

      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?
