UK is poorer as a country, says Michael Gove

  1. We’re poorer because of him and his Brexit. End of.

    The fact that the BBC are willing to promote his lies and misdirection is proof of how shit they are.

  2. And the few inbred, rich idiots at the top keep getting richer, more inbred and more power hungry.

    Every time I talk British politics now I’m inclined to bring up the online safety bill, we should all be terrified and im in shock it hasn’t sparked the same kind of response that the pension issue in France has.

    Fuck the British government… say it as much as you can while it’s still legal to do so because pretty soon it won’t be.

  3. Yes, we’re all poorer because of you, you bellend. You have made all our lives not only poorer but generally just harder with your shitty brexit. Where’s your comeuppance for the lies you told?

  4. >Mr Gove denied that the government was to blame after 13 years in power, but added: “One can always do better, yes.”

    So is that a yes ?

    Also OBR says Brexit has as much impact as Covid, but Gove won’t agree that. Surprise.

  5. >”[There’s] both the war in Ukraine, the first time we’ve had war on this scale on the continent in Europe since the Second World War, and the Covid pandemic, the biggest global health pandemic since the end of the First World War,”

    We spent only few billions on the war. Tories failed to prepare energy sector for an event like this. As if Russians influencing the government wanted exactly that – us to be dependent on Russian energy sector.

    Sure we had the pandemic, but that’s not an excuse for mismanagement of the economy, fraud and corruption under government eye.

    It just shows that this government is not capable of steering the country through the stormy waters of the current world.

    Just fucking resign you clown and call general elections.

  6. You don’t say Micheal Gove. I wonder why that is, eh Micheal Gove? Might have something to do with the party in charge for the past 13 years, eh Micheal Gove? Fuck off you prick.

  7. Aaaaannnnd who’s fault is that? Yep the Tories! They blame “small boats and single parents but it’s horseshit. They’ve plundered the economy and will continue to do so till they’re voted out.

  8. Which party is responsible for all that? The one that implemented austerity, oversaw us leaving the EU, mismanaged a pandemic, and who caused a run on pensions? No, I bet it was Brown and his Labour party’s fault for inheriting a crisis caused by the US sub-prime mortgage crisis.

  9. The big question is, will the same morons who voted for Brexshite.

    And this tory shower of shite.

    Will the same fools, be fooled again and vote in tory scum again.

    We already know with the Voter id bs the Tories. Are trying their best to move the goal posts again, like they always do .Then try to blame everything on people coming here in little rubber boats.

  10. The problem is our low wages, and folks like Michael cannot admit that this is linked to our poor industrial strategy, poor union relations, and poor enforcement of proper modern working standards or else risk the entire Brexit anti-immigration narrative that props up their entire wing of British politics at the moment. They cannot take appropriate actions to deal with huge numbers of people working in horrifically unproductive ways for peanuts pretty much entirely due to politics and optics that they themselves have engineered, so keep having to focus our national energies and resources fighting phantoms and chasing slogans instead.

  11. Lol, the cocaine laden cunt is claiming the Ukraine war and the pandemic are the issue and not Brexit?

    Sure, there’s knock on effects from both but I don’t see other countries struggling in the same way we are here.

  12. One of my friends has just had his rent for a room (a room!) in London put up by £300 a month. I swear some of my food is double what it was 18 months ago. Council tax is just gone up now too. I’ve had a one 4 1/2 % increase in the last 4 years. What the fuck are we meant to do?

  13. That man seems to have been following me around all day. Every time I turn on the radio or television, he was there. I am seriously worried he may haunt my dreams, and am considering not sleeping tonight, just in case.

  14. I wonder who’s fault that was Mikey? You’ll probably somehow find a way to blame Labour, again

  15. Blame the pandemic, blame the war,
    Blame anybody but the rich, that rinse the poor.

    Greed.

  16. But he also insists that the government we’ve had the entire time everything has been going up the creek is not in any way to blame

  17. The UK average income last year was £33,000.

    The UK average income ten years prior to that was £26,472 (worth £33,538.89 in today’s money)

    That’s a 1.6% decrease in earning power

    The cost of a property has gone up 70% in the same time frame.

    Gross national income has grown 43.23% in the same timeframe.

    Inflation is currently around 10%.

    Of course people are poorer. The cost of everything has grown and rise while the average pay has functionally shrunk.

    The same government has been in power the whole time.

  18. The fact this cretin is in any role in government is a disgrace and noone should listen to anything he has to say. Sniffing coke all the way up Murdochs arse hole

  19. And yet puzzlingly, Germany and France don’t seem to have the same problems.

    Britain has the distinction of being **the only major economy** forecast to be in a recession this year, according to the latest projection by the International Monetary Fund.10 Feb 2023

    Hey Michael, do you think it might be something other than Ukraine and Covid? You know, like turning our back on a market of 400 million people just 30 km from Dover? Do you think that could have had something to do with it? Fuckwit
