UK’s growth prospects worst among top economies, warns OECD

Unfortunately the article is behind a paywall. Can anyone speculate why the headline could possibly be true?

Whilst Covid and Ukraine are the excuses that the government likes to use, we all know that those issues affect everyone, and should be affecting those more dependent on Russian energy to a larger extent than it affects us but somehow Germany and Italy are doing better than us in spite of their reliance on Russian gas. Where are we going wrong?

How much longer can the Tories and Labour pretend Brexit isn't hampering the economy

 

[BrianW]

We are a trading nation and have been for centuries. We were trading with Europe (and beyond) long before there was a Tory Party and long before anyone wrote the egregious nonsense on which their 'philosophy' is based.

Anything that restricts our trade with Europe is bound to damage our economy. It simply cannot fail to do so. This is like saying water is wet.

Unless you can clearly demonstrate that there are tangible benefits which clearly offset this damage, the policy is a failure by definition.

Waving a Union Jack and having a blue/black passport are not tangible benefits. The only 'benefits' I see so far are emotional or abstract bullshit.

Lying fuckers every one.

Tories - As long as their rabid support wants them to.
Labour - As long as they are shit scared of the red wall xenophobic morons.
