It's going to get better this year. IMF forecasting GDP 0.6. Progress.
that's two thirds the NHS budget
Strongly agree (37%)
Mildly agree (17%)
Neither (18%)
Mildly disagree (9%)
Strongly disagree (19%)
Agree = 54%
Neutral = 18%
Disagree = 28%
So while Agree is ahead, it's still not by a big margin which to me is astounding. I'd be interested to know how they come to these results.
I'm totally guessing but I suspect that many people still believe in the fabled positives of Brexit and think that it's either a matter of time or will until those benefits come into effect.
That and the inability to ever admit that they were gullible and wrong.
Is there a single positive so far from Brexit? It has to be the most stupid act of Democratic self-harm a developed country has made in recent years. Absolutely insane it was allowed to happen. If ever there is a case for utterly disregarding a referendum, it's this.
Water company execs can now get bigger bonuses due to cost savings from sewage treatment as we can now pump that into our beaches instead.
It will be a case study for university students around the world for decades to come. A perfect combination of propaganda, misinformation, social media, corruption, hubris, hatred and xenophobia combined.
And yet Sunak is still spouting these barefaced lies...
"In the three years since leaving the EU, we’ve made huge strides in harnessing the freedoms unlocked by Brexit to tackle generational challenges. Whether leading Europe’s fastest vaccine rollout, striking trade deals with over 70 countries or taking back control of our borders, we’ve forged a path as an independent nation with confidence.
And in my first 100 days as prime minister, that momentum hasn’t slowed – we’re cutting red tape for businesses, levelling up through our freeports, and designing our own, fairer farming system to protect the British countryside.
This is just the beginning of our plans to deliver on our five priorities, including growing the economy so we can create better paid jobs, and I’m determined to ensure the benefits of Brexit continue to empower communities and businesses right across the country."

I wonder if they believe the shite that comes out of their mouths? How can you possibly sleep at night knowing you’re lying to an entire country?
Similarly, Britta filter sales will be up as I sure as feck won't be drinking direct from the tap without the EU giving me a modicum of hope it's still safe. I'm sure similar non-fecking-eejits who have some brain cells to rub together will be thinking the same.
Surely it's a matter of time until the negative impacts of Brexit are so pronounced it can't be ignored. At which point, could criminal proceedings ever be brought against those who purposely misled the public?
I wish that just one time, the interview would end right there with, thank you we’ll leave it there.
The negative impacts of Brexit were clear and obvious 7 years ago. All this time later they still believe the nonsense. They will never admit they were wrong no matter what happens.
Yeah but we can now cut tax on lawnmowers. That's surely going offset the £100 billion loss.
Pretty sure that's from 2019.

like a prime Drogba
It should be a criminal offence for MPs to lie about anything policy related and it's a bit ridiculous that they can mislead with no consequence.
For that to work we'd have to learn that it's fine for an MP to say "I'd have to check on that" if asked about something they don't know the facts for though.
What a load of claptrap. Is that the best they can come up with seriously?World beating.
When it comes to this they generally focus on G8 members. Otherwise the graph would be very different, many smaller economies have higher growth.
It's the G7 countries
ah ok
yeah just realized that
There's no G8 anymore, they kicked Russia out so down to 7
Russia's economic performance out performs us even though they are under sanctions.
Didn't the EU effectively sanction you as well!
They chucked a load of bureaucracy in the way. Which is a laugh given that that was one of the things Brexit would be doing away with.
The UK sanctioned itself.
Strangely enough, all the paperwork they're moaning about now, they also have to complete for trading with all the other nations in the world. More so with many. The advantage of being in a Customs Union or the same trading block with common rules. Oh well. They didn't listen.
7 years ago was based on forecasts and predictions which were batted away by the right as “doom mongering”. They can’t do the same so easily with actual data and reality.
So far they’ve been riding the opportunities that Covid and Ukraine have brought from a blame perspective, but that’s not going to wash for much longer when we’re comparatively coping far worse as a country than others.
They'll try don't worry!
Best TV I have seen all year. Will take some beating.
