Nothing could convince him the war was over, a letter from the emperor, his own brother singing school songs, thousands of newspapers past and present. Nigel blamed everyone but reality in that interview, but the fact remains it FAILED, and it doesn't matter who, how, when, or where, it's from the old spivs mouth to your ears. Brexit has failed! The war is over, Mac Mick San. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavideol Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 On 5/31/2023 at 11:58 PM, youreavinalaff said: I look forward to seeing the link where Starmer said " we will not be seeking to rejoin the EU for now but maybe later". If you don't have a link but believe it's on the cards if Labour get a second term, he's lying. As for the EU allowing UK a gradual rejoin, you don't believe that could happen anymore than anyone else, including Labour MPs. maybe should ask EU's opinion about the possibility of re-joining, maybe they don't want the UK back, too much winning and finger pointing who wants that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK is the second lowest and we also know why. As to the FT article, it is based on outdated data. According to the latest data available, the current level of UK GDP is below pre-pandemic level.

I also posted the 'real' projected figures which show that the UK is predicted to grow more slowly than the Eurozone and the wider EU this year. Falling off a cliff edge? Maybe not - although the 10% overnight decline in sterling when the referendum result was announced was quite a descent - more like, a steady slide down a steep hill. Where's those sunny uplands we were promised? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
