They didn't line up. Most of them just continuated the agreements they signed with the EU. Actually, UK exports to non EU countries even decreased. "However, there is little sign to date of UK goods exports to non-EU countries making up for lower exports to the EU, with the former down 18 per cent on 2019 levels.b" "While additional trade with other counties could offset some of the decline in trade with the EU, none of the agreements concluded to date are of a sufficient scale to have a material impact on our forecast." https://obr.uk/box/the-latest-evidence-on-the-impact-of-brexit-on-uk-trade/

Ahem! When did Democrats assault the Capitol in order to steal elections?

Well, at least he lost elections by large. Not sure about his wealth. From the available information, he lost money with his undertakings and made money on TV. So only 50% loser on this dimension. ????

He was the Commander in Chief. He could have ordered the National Guard to stop the mob. That was his duty.

A bit if fun about one if the conspirers ???? https://edition.cnn.com/videos/politics/2022/07/22/josh-hawley-video-january-6-running-dlt-vpx.cnn

Political, really? He was found guilty by a jury, and the judge has been nominated by Trump.

Good point! So I guess Russia may not really respect the deal.

To pay the pensions of the British (ex) employees and members of European Institutions.

The moron, who incidentally was the Commander in Chief, just watched the mob assaulting the Capitol and did nothing. ????

Will he be "bannonized" in jail? ????

Oops! Sorry, I forgot traitor.

These hearings just confirmed what we already knew: Trump is a loser, a liar and a cheat!

You are assuming that the reason for the lower participation rate is low wages. It's not what I read in articles about it. Reasons often evoked are that people are bored with <deleted> jobs, extensive working hours, and other reasons such as childcare or early retirement. "The share of the population that is working or looking for work remains 1.2 percentage points below their February 2020 values, as Americans that left work during the pandemic are coming back slowly due in part due to childcare and early retirement. source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics" https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/labor-force-participation-rate#:~:text=Labor Force Participation Rate in the United States averaged 62.85,percent in December of 1954. You are also assuming that the non-participating population would be able to do such agricultural hard work. This is far from obvious. Young and energetic people don't can find work rather easily. I would rather assume that the non-participants are not very fit (I.e. in the oldest age range, over 50) and are not able to dig or harvest 8 hours a day under the Californian sun.

Is it really the problem? The unemployment rate is low, businesses are often complaining they cannot hire enough employees, and wages have been rising.

Not to mention Trump who was employing illegal immigrants...

It's at least a case of dereliction of duty! Quote from Gen. Milley: "You know, you're the Commander in Chief. You've got an assault going on on the Capitol of the United States of America and there's nothing? No call? Nothing? Zero?" he said in the clip

This is going to be good! ???? Quote from the article "All I know about that day was that he was in the dining room, gleefully watching on his TV as he often did, 'look at all of the people fighting for me,' hitting rewind, watching it again" ????

Since UK has left the E.U., it also left the Dublin agreement. Therefore, it has lost the possibility to send refugee back to the first country of entry.

The hearings never fail to deliver! "Trump spent most of the January 6 attack watching TV in the White House dining room, according to new video from House committee" ???? https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-watching-tv-during-jan6-white-house-dining-room-video-2022-7

Yet 100% of developed countries (which have a similar economic development to UK) have an inflation rate between 6.1% and 10.5%, 5 above UK and 10 below UK.

It's true, but the 2008 crisis wasn't ridiculous either.

Energy prices are global. It is not a limited increase in U.S. production which will solve the current problem. It also takes time to develop new production drills, so the additional production will come too late on the market. On top of it, the future price of oil may not allow new investment to be profitable and operators know it.

Ok. It remains that the EU rate is affected by Eastern Europe, which is not comparable to UK.

Ireland, Netherlands and Luxemburg are also below UK. Sorry I forgot the link in the unedited post https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/inflation-rate?continent=europe

You are right about the EU and UK figures. However, is it a relevant comparison? Most EU countries with a higher inflation than UK (and affect the average rate) are less developed countries located in Eastern Europe. They have different economic conditions and are also more affected by the war in Ukraine. The other most developed countries have a lower inflation rate than UK (except for Belgium and Spain): France, Germany, Italy, Austria, etc... https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/inflation-rate?continent=europe
