You clearly don’t understand the graph. The graph relates growth of each nation against its own pre-COVID growth. Germany has recovered to pre-COVID levels and added .2% Growth. The UK is 0.4% below pre-COVID growth. The graph does not indicate a 0.6% difference between the growth of the UK and German economies.

The UK was already trading with the rest of the world before Brexit. Membership of the EU was never a barrier to the UK trading with the rest of the world. Brexit has inserted tariffs and quotas into the UK’s largest trading market, the EU. The Brexiteer cry goes up ‘Get on with it’, but there’s nothing new to ‘get on with’, the hoped for trade deal with the US is revealed as a thing of fantasy and the UK doesn’t have enough skilled workers to fill the jobs it’s receding economy needs.

So why this?

But you ignore Brexit. Which is completely irrational.

From your post; ”inflation, which is expected to spike to 8.5% this year” Remind me, what is the rate of inflation in the UK right now?

It’s not over. The consequences are only now becoming apparent. Brexit is failing to deliver on the promises made. Step 1. Media starts discussing the problems of Brexit (already underway). Step 2. Brexit leaders start complaining about Brexit (already underway) Step 3. Industry and business leaders start complaining about Brexit (Already underway). Step 4. Economy fails to recover (Already underway). Step 5. Promises made aren’t delivered (Already underway). And so the inexorable return to reality that the UK will rejoin the EU.

It is ridiculous to claim the vote for Brexit was on the basis of a single issue.

We all know Scotland is a country in which many people believe independence from the UK will put an end to them being subjected to decisions from Westminster tgat the majority of the Scottish population do not support.

The UK isn’t getting any kind of a deal out of the US anytime soon. Even the lettuce understood that.

And as the UK is a democracy, the UK can change its mind.

Who is this ‘non hostile’ POTUS? No US President is ever going to engage the UK in any negotiation or treaty that is not favorable to the US and you were warned, no US President is going to negotiate with the Uk until the UK ends it’s policies that threaten the Good Friday Agreement. There is no ‘special relationship’, tge UK is a very junior partner and since Brexit an extremely junior partner.

Yep, the Tories broke the unions and it’s been down hill for working people ever since.

It wasn’t a threat it was a promise. The UK is at the back of the queue for a trade deal with the US. Go ahead get mad at the people who warned you.

What progress? The UK is in recession, tge place is falling apart.

Nonsense, Sterling took a dive on the announcement of the Brexit result. The problem was the a sense of the ‘oven ready deal’. Even now the UK hasn’t taken control of such critical issues as post Brexit import controls. And there’s not a ‘sunlit upland’ in sight.

Let’s see how you react as public opinion moves further against Brexit.

The problems of Brexit are now starting g to be openly discussed in Mainstream Media. No amount of denial, or head burying is going to hide the facts as they become increasingly obvious. The promised sunlit uplands haven’t materialized, nor will they.

But do you have a link to back up this system?

Are you aware some of us have memories:

£20million, is that all. The Government is handing out hundreds of millions to oil companies: https://www.bigissue.com/news/environment/oil-giants-shell-and-bp-have-been-handed-700m-of-taxpayer-cash-despite-bumper-profits/

Can you back up this startling assertion?

I’ve got an idea for a hot air driven electricity generator.

Don’t forget to take your own road with you when you go for a drive.

And yet renewables are a growing part of global energy provision. Some ideas fail, others succeed, was it ever thus.

I guess somebody living in a Condo with no opportunity to install solar cells to power their unit must be denied an opinion on the matter because you think they haven’t walked the walk. Regardless of who it is installing solar energy systems, solar energy is firmly part of global power provisions now and into the future. Luddites don’t seem able to grasp that reality.
