With prices rocketing, the inflation blame game is now in full swing. Some commentators blame Putin; others blame energy companies but there’s also an interesting case to be made that Brexit is at least partly to blame.

    Covid and the poor governance and many cowards caused inflation with stupid lockdowns and jabs.

    Spain suffered covid, but has an inflation rate about half that of Britain and is achieving strong economic growth. Brexit is the main cause of Britain's economic woes.

    I suppose Argentina can blame UK for 💯 + inflation
    Talk some crap you lot do
    Inflation is down to people's wages increasing
    Fuel down to our past politicians for selling everything to other countries
    The rest is just greedy business trying to rake in what they lost during pandemic

    Whilst I would agree with most of this (Brexit being partly to blame) The British have really bought this upon themselves, including the vote to leave. But the greatest fault lies not with the international communities but your own, your very own corruption riddled Administration !

    Who said “the UK should stand alone, if necessary, for European freedom, adding: "We are taunted—by the French, by the Italians, by the Spaniards—for refusing to worship at the shrine of a common government superimposed upon them all…. where were the European unity merchants in 1940? I will tell you. They were either writhing under a hideous oppression or they were aiding and abetting that oppression. Lucky for Europe that Britain was alone in 1940”……Enoch Powell

    Easy way to debunk this. It would have happened a long time ago if Brexit played any part in it

  13. @denniswinters3096

    December 26, 2023 at 1:24 am

    Brexit was the worst self-inflicted injury this country has inflicted on itself in living memory. Those who were behind it deserve to be tried for treason.

    So Sterling is down close to 25% since the Brexit referendum…

  18. @Dunnlrs

    December 26, 2023 at 1:24 am

    No Brexit is not to blame, it is the global supply chain and the kick-back to covid and the costs related to that

  19. @sorennilsson9742

    December 26, 2023 at 1:24 am

    9 June 2022. It estimated the impact of Brexit on the UK economy as a 5.2% reduction in GDP, a 13.7% fall in investment, and 13.6% fall in trade, compared to a “modelled 'doppelgänger' group of countries.

    Inflaition in the UK was 24% in the 70s. Correct your information.

  24. @Khazuki_

    I'm due to negotiate my wage with my employer, I only get this opertunity once a year as per my work contract. I have no clue what kind of a percentage mark up to ask for in order to ensure I'm not worse off this time next year than I am this year. This isnt even fear mongering this is genuinely scary.

  27. @nuwine5250

    December 26, 2023 at 1:24 am

    Surprise surprise, anti brexit stance, still.

  28. @davidmichaels8934

    December 26, 2023 at 1:24 am

    Of course! The Brexiteers blame everyone and everything for inflation eg. the cost of living crisis, but the one thing that they will NEVER admit to, is the Brexit factor!

  29. @tomstorey8559

    December 26, 2023 at 1:24 am

    Short answer no Brexit isn't to blame

  30. @thegrandmuftiofwakanda

    No.

  31. @sy2pie

    December 26, 2023 at 1:24 am

    Brexit has little to do with it. Inflation almost entirely in line with Europe and other comparable counties

  32. @resiplayerz

    December 26, 2023 at 1:24 am

    Brexit has had little to no impact on inflation.
    stats from statista, Estonia 23.2%, Latvia 21.3%, Lithuania 20.9%, Czech, 17.3%, Bulgaria 14.9%, Hungary 14.7%, Poland 14,2%, Romania 13%, Slovakia 12.8%, Croatia 12.7%, Slovenia 11.7%, Netherlands 11.6%, Greece 11.3%, Spain 10.7%, Cyprus 10.6%, Belgium 10.4% *UK 10.1%, EU average 9.8%*, Ireland 9.6%, Denmark 9.6%

    December 26, 2023 at 1:24 am

    Inflation in the Netherlands in August was just over 12%. Was that caused by Brexit as well? This whole artical is desperate rubbish made up by Remainders.

  42. @terryj50

    December 26, 2023 at 1:24 am

    Damn that world wide inflation caused by brexit.

  43. @bongsound

    December 26, 2023 at 1:24 am

    No, inflation is caused by the printing of money. We created 20% of all GBP in the last two years, that is what is causing iinflation.

Could Another Brexit Debate End Farage?

Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Remainers: Why Hasn’t the Economy Collapsed Yet? – Brexit Explained

Published

on



TeeSpring Store: https://teespring.com/stores/tldr-winter

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.
