Trying to blame the Tories is laughable. If I tell you I'm going to the shops and then go rob a bank, it's your fault for allowing me to "go to the shops", not my fault for robbing the bank. Quite a reach ????.

I understand it (I assume you mean control) but without giving accurate figures on the impact of both categories it's a pretty meaningless statement. A bit like saying my annual expenses consisted of rent, food and a pair of flip-flops. Since the flip-flops were non essential, we can conclude that I was frivoulous with my annual expenses. The impact of Brexit was negligibile, as I have already stated is demonstrated by the fact that the largest EU economy which remained is doing worse than Britain who left. The impact of Brexit will also decline with each passing year.

Accepted on the basis of Blair's lies about WMD. At that point, knowledge of his nature of being a pathological liar was not widespread as it is now.

Like torching Iraq?

Oh don't worry, there are plenty more fools within the Labour Party capable of derailing their election campaign. Starmer has only just worked out what a woman is. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12341781/Keir-Starmer-finally-accepts-woman-adult-female-Labour-leader-confirms-party-U-turn-gender-self-identification-admits-policy-not-right-way-forward.html

Do you realize how many countries economies suffered due to Covid and the war in Ukraine? The UK is not unique in that regard, in fact they have done very well compared to many. Your theory that every other country suffered due to Covid and the war, but the UK suffered due solely to Brexit is laughable. Even with Covid and the war (2 massive events and not under the control of the UK) Britain has not suffered anywhere near the extent as predicted by Project Fear. In fact, even I expected a longer period of disruption but the resilience of the economy and the speed by which we have done trade deals has been very impressive. The lies about the impact of Brexit have been exposed, and your lame attempts to brush this under the carpet are failing.

4 years of Labour would be too much to bear. They could do massive damage in such a period. I reckon he should leave the election as late as possible. Labour have a habit of losing elections that they should win (failure becomes a habit), so I'd give them as much time as possible to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They might do something ridiculous like make Diane Abbott the face of their election campaign. ???? https://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/presenters/nick-ferrari/diane-abbotts-agonising-interview-over-policy-cost/

A Labour government would inflict far more damage on the country than Brexit could ever do.

Unlike Germany, which is in recession and is already being outperformed by the UK, and which is likely to continue to be outperformed by the UK. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/07/25/british-economy-outperform-germany-this-year-imf/ Given that the UK left the EU and Germany remained in the EU (but both suffered from Covid lockdowns and the war in Ukraine), it does not take an epic understanding of constants and variables to establish that leaving the EU was not the disaster it was predicted to be (well, if you exclude the impact on the German's export market...).

It did. https://www.ft.com/content/af5820bf-0af6-4228-8223-4cb79cc5a6d6

Are you some kind of unofficial arbiter/announcer of fellow posters political leanings now? Congrats on the promotion, in fairness given the amount of time you spend on here you probably deserve something in return although (like others I could name but won't) I suspect you already receive that under a different username ????. There is a time and a place for raising and lowering interest rates. A bit like having a weak or a strong currency, it isn't universally a good or a bad thing, it depends on economic conditions and what you are trying to achieve. Frankly, I would have thought you would have known that...

Like I said, the mentality of Dems on this forum who react to every criticism of someone on the left by labelling people right wing Trump supporters. It's all they've got ????. It's no wonder she acts how she does, she's dumbing it down to suit the needs of her audience. I even saw a "You go girl" by one of them on this very thread.

By childishly tearing up some papers with a smug expression on her face? ???? Her and Biden appear to be on a race back to infancy. All that was missing was her stamping her foot, poking out her tongue and screaming "I HATE YOU". The state of US politics... Wow. Although, in defense of her behaviour you only have to read some of the posts by the Democrat supporters on this forum to see the type of crowd she is playing to. ????

Awww, is the Wifi not fast enough on the barge? They don't like the shade of the curtains? Those who don't accept the kind offer should be deported and the accomodation given to British ex-military that have fallen on hard times, or the homeless.

More doom and gloom predictions on the UK, later to be proven incorrect and "revised" no doubt. Fact is, the UK economy is doing fine. The IMF or this think tank that I have never heard of can come up with as many "wills", "mights", "coulds", "predicts", "shoulds", "warns" as they like. Facts are facts. Project Fear never happened, they can try and talk the UK into armageddon but it simply isn't happening. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12114497/Wrong-IMF-finally-admits-Britain-WONT-recession-year.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/03/10/economy-grows-budget-boost-jeremy-hunt/?WT.mc_id=tmgoff_psc_ppc_puzzles_pmax_2023&gclid=Cj0KCQjwz8emBhDrARIsANNJjS6bTf0RSLvm9cSUXLhkF754V9eCyU_GIdKElrxn21LZmPDWRZGSlpAaAg2bEALw_wcB Will they ever learn?

Blah blah blah. Divert as much as you like. I'm still waiting for those "thousands of insults". "Where is the server" doesn't count.

Read my previous post. Try to understand it this time.

It's behind a paywall.

Weak. "Cancel order" is a suggestion, not an insult. "Nothing is being done" is a statement, not an insult. "Where is the server?" is a question, not an insult. Fake news (a statement) repeated 1000 times does not constitute 1000 insults. You're really scraping the bottom of the barrel with one link behind a paywall and another one repeating "fake news" hundreds of times.

It's behind a paywall.

I can only lead a horse to water...

Let's wait and see. I mean after months of deliberation Starmer has finally worked out what a woman is so with his new found insight let's give him another decade and he might come up with some sensible ideas for the economy. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12341781/Keir-Starmer-finally-accepts-woman-adult-female-Labour-leader-confirms-party-U-turn-gender-self-identification-admits-policy-not-right-way-forward.html

A cop out. The equivalent of "google it". I thought links were required for statements of fact. Thousands? lol.

I said it was alleged. I then provided proof of the allegation. The fact you do not think Rogan is credible is neither here nor there regarding the accuracy of my statement. Don't like Rogan? OK, here's another one for you. A senator. https://www.hawley.senate.gov/following-pelosi-trades-hawley-calls-hearing-banning-insider-trading-congress Here's a definition of alleged as well, since you don't seem to fully understand it.

I have acknowledged that it is alleged. I will wait for the result of the trial before I conclude he is guilty. As you should.
