The National Debt went up due to Covid (as it did in every other country) - now Covid is over the National Debt has been falling for the past 2 years.  |

Exactly, remoaners like to forget facts like a global pandemic, or the war.
Had Covid and the war not happened, the national debt would be well down, and GDP growth would be self evident.
We're doing well.

We're doing well. You have absolutely no idea what the situation would have been IF this and IF that. And you arent doing well because these things DID happen. When are you going to be brave enough to face reality and stop cherry picking things you blow up out of proportion to prove the viability of your faith and religion, while the country needs REAL solutions to increasingly REAL problems. You are in love with an idea. A true folly. |

Thanks for boosting my thread and sharing the good news.
Brexit is working.
£90+bn above inflation additional export sales and we're no longer spending £9.6bn a year on membership of the failed organisation either.
Brexit has made the UK over £100bn a year better off.

Kemi Badenoch certainly agrees with Vinny:
Ahead of flying to Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, she said: “The first aim of Brexit was to leave the European Union – we did that. The second aim was to seize the opportunities of leaving the EU, which we’re doing.”
Describing her mission to shred red tape at home while opening up new markets abroad, she said: “We are taking back control of our laws so that rules are made in Britain, not Brussels. But to really grab those benefits, I’m making sure we reform the EU laws to reduce red tape and give our businesses an even better chance to succeed.”
She will hold talks this week with ministers from the six-nation Gulf Co-operation Council.
Total trade between the UK and these countries reached a record high of £61.3billion in 2022.

Thing with the Gulf Co-operation council is it's arms for oil.
All six of those nations are big customers for British weapons.
Ok, trade is trade and it's worth a lot, but, it's not the best example.
It's been going on since the 1980's.
Never saw remoaners going on about the ethics of it though, they're more bothered about us not being in the EU, than us selling arms to dictatorships in the middle east.

You have absolutely zero knowledge that any part of any trade involving the uk is due to Brexit. Not even professional economists admit they can attribute any part of it to Brexit. By Brexit bonuses i assume you are talking about FDI going elsewhere, companies choosing to leave the FTSE, chronic job vacancies since the country kicked out European workers and are now paying agencies to source them from half way around the world. And you still have waiting lists in the NHS of months due to lack of staff. Ah yes. Those bonuses. How do companies choose to leave the FTSE? |

Brexit has made the UK over £100bn a year better off. L8ke everyone else so the UK is no better off than anyone else. The Uk alao continues to pay into the EU for pensions and programnes it found it couldnt grow without commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-7886/#:~:text=In%20recent%20years%20these%20funds,billion%20calculated%20by%20HM%20Treasury. When the financial settlement is finished, the UK will havooe paid about 35 billion pounds into the EU and received...almost nothing. |

Some even list in two exhanges. It is best to list on a very busy exchange to increase demand. |

More good news..
Post-Brexit curbs on immigration are proving a boon for restaurant workers as wage increases outstrip the national average.
Pay for staff in the hospitality sector has risen by 9.5pc – compared with the national average of 6.6pc – over the last year, new research shows.
Pub wages are growing at the fast rate within the sector, increasing by 11.3pc, according to online headhunter Caterer.com.
Bosses are also offering incentives to workers, with “mental health and wellbeing days” listed as particularly popular at aiding staff retention.
Kathy Dyball, director at Caterer.com, said: “As the long-standing skills shortage continues to impact the sector, hospitality employers are focused on offering competitive salaries and benefits to attract and retain the people they need.
“Despite the ongoing cost of living crisis and other challenges faced by hospitality employers, such as rising energy costs and inflation, the industry understands the value of its people, and has ramped up efforts to provide appealing and rewarding opportunities for employees.”

Companies can choose where to market their shares. Some even list in two exhanges. It is best to list on a very busy exchange to increase demand. The FTSE isn't an exchange it is an index. It is a marketplace where anyone can buy a part of a company or, IOW, where you invest in the hopes that the value ofvthe company goes up so you can sell your part at a profit. As a company you can "list" your company in any exchange you want. That is why it is called stock MARKET. Like any trader you can buy and sell shares in a company. The various exchanges are not indicative of the success of a country. It may be indicative of the tax laws in that country but it IS indicative of how well BUSINESSES are doing. The index is a statistical analysis and general summary of the trade that is going on. |
