Their economies seem to be growing a great deal faster than ours though.
I will say Brexit is a loss because factually thats accurate.
I'm not saying Brexit is a winner or a loss, but anybody who has been abroad in Europe lately will know they are suffering exactly the same problems we are here. Soaring costs in the shops, fuel orice increases and shortages, empty shelves.
I've actually not heard much of his stuff, post it up.Mick Lynch is really sensible, likeable and genuine.
The problems we currently face certainly aren’t all down to Brexit, but it has undoubtedly made them significantly worse.
Which places have you been most recently?
What establishment are you referring to?I agree but we were never going to leave something we were entrenched in for 50 years without problems. Covid, closing the economy for two years and the fuel crisis/war in Ukraine are bigger contributory factors than Brexit. Add in the establishment obviously didn't want or anticipate the country voting to leave so will do everything in their power to make it fail and get us back in as quickly as possible. The media and Twitter are making out it's only Britain suffering soaring inflation and all the other problems when it isn't.
Spain. Trust me they are feeling it there and I had an apartment for four weeks so shopped for food and everything had increased in price since I was last there in January.

You’re not getting it. When you suffer economic blows like COVID to recover you need economic growth. Brexit has massively impacted our ability to grow the economy which is going to make the forthcoming recession much much worse than everybody else’s. The worst is yet to come.Politicians and the rich elite of the country for whom being in the EU was marvellous. As I've stated I'm not for or against it, I have an open mind, but to blame the shambles in this country solely on it, as many are, is ludicrous, when other European countries are suffering very similar problems to ourselves. Luckily for them they haven't got such an inept government adding to their woes.
Mainland or islands?
Just came back from Fuerteventura and I went in several supermarket chains in settlements across the island, I'll bow to your greater knowledge on prices but didn't see many empty shelves.
I presume he’s talking Tenerife. Spain itself, or certainly where I am atm has not seen any major issues regards empty shelves unless you’re after a particular British product which due to brexit are hard to find anymore.Mainland or islands?

I was in Tenerife. Everything has increased in price. As a regular visitor I noticed it. I know people that have lived there for 30+ years and they were in agreement. There are shortages of certain items of food on a regular basis. Just one example was minced beef. In January it was €3.75, in September €4.75. Avocados are like gold now. They were 9+€ for a kilo.
Roughly £8bn a year with unfettered access to the worlds biggest market, supply chain security and no labour shortages
= Erling Haaland £51m
Bargain doesn't begin to cover it
Currently UK with 60bn fiscal black hole ...
I am getting it. It's not just us, the rest of Europe are suffering the same. Predominantly it's down to fuel prices as everything is more expensive to make and deliver. I bought a loaf of bread in Aldi yesterday. A few months ago it was 45p. Yesterday I paid 79p. No economic growth will happen anywhere until this is sorted out. My fuel bills have doubled in price and every food item I buy has increased and is continuing to do so on a weekly basis.

Could be stuck on four…Finally, political instability which is a direct byproduct of Brexit. This is undeniable. We will be on our fifth PM since 2016
