>Why is the UK economy suffering more than other countries?
Because we have an extremist government in power driven by an extremist dogma perhaps?
Is it because of all these lattes I’ve been buying?
Probably something to do with severing ties with our largest trading partner.
Only thing unique to us is leaving the EU. If only it could have been predicted.
Wow, the BBC mentioning Brexit. As a POSSIBLE cause. How dense do you have to be to still not see it?
Because you voted to impose trade barriers on yourselves? Because you thought ‘we need you more than you need us’? Because you ‘hold all the cards’?
Hey now let’s not be too harsh on leaving the EU here. There’s also the piss poor deal we negotiated with the EU, the corruption, the bad economic decisions and let’s not forget a government to focused on fighting scandals to be able to focus on their job.
>Why is the UK economy suffering more than other countries?
HMMMMMMM… I WONDER.
The short answer is – look to the people we are governed by.
For more detail, consider….. leaving the EU, the amount of money we gave away during the pandemic and furthermore the money that we wasted during same said pandemic to name just a few very obvious reasons.
Self inflicted trade sanctions? Incompetent government that endlessly witters on about “getting the job done” but actually does very little to react to or mitigate the problems business and the public face?
No, I have it. It’s those meanies in the EU not treating us super nicely, and holding us to all those silly rules which we agreed to. (just in case /s)
Just look at whose in charge. You find more intellect in tightly wound coils in a toilet bowl than the shit lickers in charge.
Have any of the other countries told their trading partners that they can fuck off?
Every decision the current government makes has one purpose, and that is to filter money from the working class and give to the elite. They are corrupt to the core with their lobbying and side businesses. Have no interest in helping the working class with the cost of living crisis to which they are largely to blame. The opposition is not an opposition, in fact they are a bunch of no bodies that have no voice and stand for nothing but woke ideologies.
We have a government who over the last 12 years has simply failed to grow the economy in any meaningful way. Wages have been consistently below inflation for the last 12 years, while low interest rates has meant house prices have continued to rise. Now that interest rates and inflation have gone up, suddenly everyone that was just about managing is now spiralling into debt, while those that did have the disposable income to go out and enjoy themselves now don’t.
It’s a fundamental misunderstanding on government level of how economics work over 12 years that has led to this. You can’t cut your way to economic growth, it simply does not happen.
Because we have a corrupt and selfish government only looking out for themselves and their rich mates combined with an extreme right-wing press who are more than willing to meet the government’s need for propaganda
Because we imposed economic sanctions on ourselves.
Johnson will go down as the worst PM in UK history.
IMHO it’s economic inequality. If you’re making the majority of your citizens poorer, your aggregate demand will be crap, and economic activity will be sluggish.
Why? Thanks to 12 years of the usual Tory theft/fiscal incompetence and taking a 30mm cannon to our foot in the form of a referendum.
Because we became the First Nation in history to put economic sanctions on ourselves?
Barely mentions Brexit. The answer is Brexit. BBC is lost
Our economy is being further restructured to benefit the oligarchs. The economy is doing just fine, thank you very much. It is just being redistributed upwards at increasing velocity.
Mad how little that article wants to even talk about Brexit.
It makes me furious that this is the title of a BBC article. We know why. It’s Brexit. Don’t play dumb.
Because wankers keep voting in Tory KNOWING boris would be there.
The opposition doesn’t sound so bad now does it?
It’s the only known country to declare a trade war against itself.*
*Credit for that saying goes to economist Adam Posen
Easy. Our government for the last 2 decades has been total shit leading to:
– stagnant and very low average wage
– poor infrastructure
– out of control and terrible housing market (low/no quality control, hyper expensive, smallest square meterage etc)
– very high taxes which are pissed away
– benefits culture
Add all the above together and any little bump ruins and already fucked economy.
Brexit did not **cause** Rip Off Britain, that has been happening over decades, initiated by Privatisation.
Both Brexit and Covid shone a light on the utter incompetence throughout our incumbent Government, and whilst Brexit has certainly exaggerated/exacerbated our (already) diminishing GDP, it is chiefly due to overseas-owned corporate profits being removed from our economy that now has it on it’s knees, near inflexible. Those losses to the economy, once a steady trickle, now gushes far more than the NHS would purportedly benefit after Brexit.
**Please stop aiding the Tories by continuing to maintain Brexit’s division, and particularly it’s usefulness to their media as distraction.** It’s gone, at least, for now.
There’s only one way to turn off that tap. Re-nationalise. Certainly our logistical infrastructure. But that won’t happen with the Tories, and will probably take a decade to implement afterwards anyway.
In the meantime, all we can do is raise GDP. Our borrowing already exceeds it, we are already in defecit. The borrowing is certain to increase.
The question, that should be be loudly and persistently asked by us **all** of our Government is, over most other concerns, what are they *actually* doing/going to do about it ?
Because as things stand, we’re catching salmonella from their oven-ready-deals.
1. Brexit
2. The NHS Cult
3. The Public Sector Worker Cult
4. Too many people dumb enough to listen to Boris Johnson and his pals.
5. Too many people who insist the solutions is voting for the “my life is shit so I’m going to make your life shit” party
Yay UK 😐
They don’t want to say it’s Brexit out loud because Nadine Dorris will call them out for being too left wing.
I hate this government and how they fuck us every single day.
Exports are down 14%, we have 1.3 million unfilled job vacancies, investments have plummeted, and the £ is now worth less than the €.
