  2. Hasn't France just had its credit rating down graded? And Germany is now officially in recession? and Italys economy is 3% smaller than 2008? It looks like the EU is booming.

  3. ​@seanclark2085 We printed 400 billion during covid, we have the help to buy, shared ownership, record low intrest rates. Prices have been kept artificially high.

  6. Channel 4 recently did a video of a new immigrant (who didn't work) complaining that her benefit wasn't enough for her and her child. What do you think?

  7. It was the faster growing economy in the g7 last year. Some one is lying.

  8. It makes imports cheaper. We import a huge proportion of our food and energy. Oil is also bought in dollars, as intrest rates rise, the pound against the dollar increases bringing oil and cost of production down.

  10. Haven't the IMF just announced the UK is set to grow this year?

  11. yes, you are right. He was a given a very safe Tory seat, failed against Liss truss in the leadership contest and taken advantage of Boris Johnsons 80 seat majority. No one actually wants him and hasn't actually won anything.

  12. Farmers are leaving the industry because supermarkets are not paying the cost of production. A billion less eggs are now being produced. This is causing the food inflation. How does putting up intrest rates solve this problem?

  13. my wife is pregnant. We have a genuine fear she and the baby may die because their wont be enough emergency care. These strikes are despicable. I haven't got time for this.

  16. Isn't this "the rights" point? It's not women and children fleeing war but single young males looking for work?

  18. Is this actually true? I bet it isn't.

  19. The pound is rising, and production costs are falling. Theoretically, inflation should begin to fall.

  20.  @thetowerfantasymusic  what a stupid narrow minded remark.

  23. ​​ @tjmarx e is right, the tax payer bailed out the banks in 2008. The bankers used the money to buy big houses in London. No one was ever made accountable!!

  24. 1)it wasn't, anti protocol bill was still passing through parliament and 2) The original agreement was clearly unworkable, the fact we now have a completely revised protocol shows even the EU thought that. In many respect Brexiteers and unionist got what they wanted.

  25. ​ @alexanderthegreat7213 It's not. We now have green and red lanes and the UK can veto EU laws it doesn't want. Barriers trade between different parts of the UK no longer exist. And it has solved the issue of consent. They were the two main issues with the original protocol in my eyes.

  26. It makes imports cheaper. We import a huge proportion of our food, goods and energy. Oil is also bought in dollars, as intrest rates rise, the pound against the dollar increases bringing oil and cost of production down. So yes, putting up rates will control inflation and leave people with more money to spend in the widder economy.

  27. an economy with only 3.5% unemployment is not performing badly.

  28. it's a difficult debate. Northern Ireland voted to remain (only marginally though) But the majority of them percive themselves as British. On taken opinion polls only 30% want to leave the UK. Effectively with the implementation of the protocol their position within the country they live has been changed without them even being asked. That's not right is it?

  29. yes, that's what should of happened in the 1st place.

  30. It is coming down.

  31. It also reduces the supply of money to farmers. Food inflation is 18%.

  32. Nothing to do with the £400 billion they printed during the pandemic to pay the bills because the private businesses were shut down, then?

  33. ​ @Fcfcfcfcfcfc So they just plan to hang around?

  34. Rhisi Sunak will loose. The public do not like unelected leaders, they won't forget. We do not need "experts" to explain that.
