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?

Is it in the same vein as this ?

The French are certainly thinking Brexit is a winner as their stock market has just overtaken London in terms of value and their economy looks on track to be bigger than ours within 2 years.
At least they need us more than we need them………

Imagine dedicating your whole political career to one core belief and it collapses instantly on contact with reality and damages 99.9% of the country immeasurably for decades. That defines you forever as a fucking moron, but I bet not a single one of them feels any guilt. People like this don't, they Yebbut their way to unaccountability.

This is actually because the £ has fallen in value relative to the €, not because Germany's economy has outperformed the UK's.

Anyway, Brexit still a shitshow.

Bit of each actually and both in no small part due to Brexit.
Germany have had the added problem of their dependency on Russian gas and they're still doing better than us.

But we have added problem of being led by utter idiots, which they don't have.

An anonymous senior member of the ERG told LBC’s Political Editor Theo Usherwood that they would go “completely and utterly berserk” if there were any move towards a Swiss-style arrangement. “For many of us, it’s the defining issue of why we are in politics,” they added.

Goes a long way to explain how it’s now just a cult.
