The only areas that have had any sort of growth within the UK are the London area and Northern Ireland, trade between NI and the Republic is up something like 36% but of course the protocol is not working!!

Britain likes to think of itself as a dynamic, free-market place, but its economy lags behind much of the rich world. It is stuck in a 15-year rut and has become the stagnation nation https://econ.st/39cbUEQ

It certainly does and a failed U.K. is bad for everybody but the sooner its politicians face reality about their poor choices the better as they simply cannot keep sticking their fingers in their ears and sing "Rule Britannia" loudly every time evidence of the Brexit woes that they were warned about actually come to pass.Britain does lots of things very well but yeah, there's a definite growth problem.
I'm going to avoid the strong temptation to write a long write up as to what I think the issues are...
Brexit is done.It certainly does and a failed U.K. is bad for everybody but the sooner its politicians face reality about their poor choices the better as they simply cannot keep sticking their fingers in their ears and sing "Rule Britannia" loudly every time evidence of the Brexit woes that they were warned about actually come to pass.
Labour are too scared to even mention Brexit and the Tories have somehow got Brexit "Done" hurrah..!
Boris made a big nonsense speech today that was meant to be about housing but it was mostly about tax, bananas,growing olives but mostly waffle.Brexit is done.
It's just done very badly.
There isn't a realistic path to reversing Brexit entirely, the EU wouldn't buy it and it'd create massive problems in the UK for anyone who tried it.
So the name of the game is to blame the Tories for the failings that are happening, rather than bang on about a battle they've lost. The shitshow is down to Tory implementation of Brexit, they could have done a soft Brexit (e.g. membership of Single Market + retaining freedom of movement) but went with a hard Brexit, so Brexit in and of itself isn't the problem. So I get why Labour are avoiding the word.
The Tories are toast.
The fingers in the ears, idiotic nationalism has really bitten home. It's just a matter of time before they're swept out, people are shit sick of the incompetence, graft and the consequences to the nation.
