Brexit hit UK investment by £29bn, says Bank of England policymaker
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64623488

That's £1000 per household. I hear our GDP is down 20% from where it could have been had it not been for the dreaded B'exit, the pandemic and now the cost of living crisis isn't helping either. That's a lot of money that could have been used to help people, to help pretty much everyone in fact, to create a better society we'd all be better off. I blame the government, even the IMF agree the UK is struggling and falling behind the other G7 major economies.

The International Monetary Fund says the UK will be the only major economy to shrink in size this year.

That's not good, so is it true there is a lack of investment in 'the UK PLC' ?

brexit is not the only reason for our economic problems but it has without doubt made them worse...

a terrible decision.
It’s not the fault of the government, the blame clearly lies with the liars (you know who they are), who said there would be immediate benefits on leaving the EU and that there would be no downside.

How many would have voted for Brexit if told food inflation would be 6% higher, the exchequer would lose £40 billion a year in tax and the economy would be over £100 billion worse off –certainly not anywhere near 17 million.

Who would possibly have thought, placing trade barriers between ourselves and our largest & nearest foreign markets, would cause catastrophic economic problems for the UK?
hang on Roobaba, 5C propaganda is Hymie's turf!
16,141000 can’t all be wrong can they ?
So 17,000000 were all right were they ?
"hang on Roobaba, 5C propaganda is Hymie's turf!"

Hymie and a Bank Of England policymaker, apparently.
Keep on keeping on Tora.
One can not tell what would have resulted from these daft hypothetical "what if" questions. But beyond all reasonable doubt, not only was Brexit a brilliant decision and win for the UK citizens, it was absolutely vital in order to take a step towards being a real nation in control of itself again, instead of being in thrall to an unelected foreign elite. It would be cheap at twice the price of the imagined cost claimed above (most likely by remoaners), but the fact is that while we let European institutions meddle in our affairs then there is still more needing to be done. We just have to find more politicians with the guts to actually act, rather than prevaricate or make grand speeches; or worse still actually act & speak against the UK's interests.
As they lock the doors after carting out the mortal remains of the last of the current crop of Answerbankers the baton will pass to the children who are untouched by jingoism , bluster and flat-out lies for them to mend fences and write the next chapters.

Nothing the brigadiers and pub bores can do about it.
We haven't actually got out of the EU yet. E.g. We still haven't got all our fishing grounds back and we still have hundreds of EU rules in force. This is due to pusillanimous politicians and craven civil servants.
Perlease not out of the kin EUSSR? Then why are all the remoaners still munching sour grapes?
"Why is it called sour grapes?
Etymology. From Aesop's fable The Fox and the Grapes, in which a fox, unable to reach grapes it is seeking, convinces itself that they must have been unripe (therefore, sour) all along and so not worthwhile trying for in the first place."

Like a non-oven ready deal, yet to be finalised but too difficult for our best and brightest.

TTT Technically we are out - but we are trying to run a 3-legged race - tied to a former partner which doesn't want us to win. Clearer?
When this brexit nightmare is over, and future generations look back at us, it will be the likes of Tora who will be deemed traitors and the enemy within.
The experiment is only a couple of years in, and yet it failing disastrously very quickly.
I fear history will not be kind to Farage, Mogg, Frost and Johnson when the whole shïtshow collapses in ruins.
The 5C will never get it.
What a load of Horse droppings gromit. How can 52% of the electorate be traitors?
No Tora, you are deluded.
Are you genuinely happy with how your Brexit is panning out?
It’s failing miserably. It might have worked if it wasn’t for the useless incompetents in Government who supported it and let everyone down.
And you are their cheerleader, brown nosing JRM, Bozo, Frosty the Noman, and the Fromage at every opportunity.
// How can 52% of the electorate be traitors? //

52% of the electorate didn’t vote for Brexit, so lets snuff that lie out instantly.
37.5% of the electorate voted Leave. And many of them have changed their minds now we have the fiasco and it clearly isn’t working as promised.
But the diehard brexiteers desperately defend the undefendable.
gromit: "Are you genuinely happy with how your Brexit is panning out?" - Yes my country is not longer ruled by unelected bureaucrats.
"It’s failing miserably." - by what measure? It can't be financial because all figures are meaningless having been obscured by multiplke crises that started when brexit started. Even if it is see my answer to your first point.
"It might have worked if it wasn’t for the useless incompetents in Government who supported it and let everyone down." - you mean Abacus and Cobstello would have somehow managed better? Right oh!
"And you are their cheerleader, brown nosing JRM, Bozo, Frosty the Noman, and the Fromage at every opportunity" - I am grateful for their part in freeing us from the EUSSR, yes.
That is very sad reading.
You’ve been badly let down by your side.
gromit: "52% of the electorate didn’t vote for Brexit, so lets snuff that lie out instantly." - we only count those that bother to vote in all elections gromit, we cannot make assumptions about those that did not.
"37.5% of the electorate voted Leave." - stop it with your lies, on that basis ony 26% of the electorate elected Blair in 1997, you know full well we count those that vote.
" And many of them have changed their minds now we have the fiasco and it clearly isn’t working as promised." - how do you know? we've been firefighting crises since day 1.
"But the diehard brexiteers desperately defend the undefendable. " - but the remoaners continually fabricate figures and generate anti British propaganda videos and expect us to join them in their hysterics.
gromit: "That is very sad reading.
You’ve been badly let down by your side. " - so no refutations then just glib comments?
