He’s the deputy leader of Reform, no other explanation
Yep - what he said makes no sense whatsoever!
Probably. Suppose when everyone is receiving it, it might just end the stigmatisation of 'welfare'. Might...
I'm not sure a direct comparison to Germany, France or any other EU member is sensible though. EVERY UK business that trades with the EU has suffered from increased costs and paperwork just to stand still. The same is not the case for EU based businesses in that only, and being simplistic, only a 27th of their business has been subject to those increased costs. I hope you get my point.
What the NBER gets wrong on the ‘Economic Impact of Brexit’
Sometimes you need to put your computer models down and apply a little common sense!julianhjessop.substack.com
This is the first thing I came across disputing the number on loss of gdp. He's an independent economist(is anyone?) Who writes for the Telegraph so obviously will be dismissed by remainers. Im not an economist as most arent. So whether people just dismiss it or read it is up to them. People struggle to get past the author and therefore will not entertain anything they write.
But anyhow I look at where we are as a country in Europe compared to Germany and France, they feel like the best countries to compare with. Before brexit during the aftermath and up to 2025 its been Germany a bit better than the UK and the UK a bit better than France. If we have comiited such a large own goal of epic proportions this seems odd. It also doesnt help when previous figures have proved to be wrong. If it was a faulty calculation last time why is this one right or accurate.There is also stats saying we have outperformed countries since brexit but I wouldn't put that down to brexit.
So no we dont all agree and I dont believe never leaving or rejoining would have/will considerably alleviate our problems. That's even before we consider if gdp is a good indicator of a countries well being.
I didn't even vote with the economy as a priority.
Anyhow I judge myself for being dragged into brexit debates:-)
What's an ordinary job
This has to be a wind up but if not, I bet you're a hoot to know. Any minimum wage job is effectively worthless and unnecessary to you then. Care workers, street cleaners, hotel staff...all worthless. No doubt you have no cause to use any of those types of workers.
| Retail workers / shop staff / cashiers / checkout operators | Often in lower pay brackets — on weekly pay tables from previous ONS data such roles (e.g. “retail cashiers and check-out operators”) had gross weekly pay among the lower earners. Wikipedia+1 |
| Care workers / care assistants / support workers / warehouse operatives / administrative assistants | Frequently in the ~£20,000–£30,000/year range for full-time work. Ciphr+1 |
| Warehouse staff / manual labour / “elementary services” / catering assistants / kitchen / catering staff / cleaners / domestics / hospitality staff (waiting, bar work, etc.) | Generally among the lower-paid occupations. According older ONS pay tables such as “kitchen and catering assistants,” “hairdressers and barbers”, “waiters/waitresses” — these roles were listed among the lowest weekly gross pay categories. Wikipedia+1 |
| Mid–level common roles (e.g. LGV driver, retail manager, book-keeper, some clerical/admin jobs) |
All overpaid and many of them not really necessary according to Axel
how may of our MPs have done those jobs, bearing in mind you said the vast amount have?
If them low paid goon stewards all quit today, none of us would be going to the match on saturday.
