Majority still regret leaving EU

Sweetie, just admit you havent the foggiest about how the world works. If repeating hard core misinformation works for you, fill your boots. It wont fill your treasury.

Like it or not Brexit seemed to be reason for the high hake in food prices what was a main driver for the reason of the highest rate of inflation for 40yrs .

And obviously reason we had the highest inflation and slowest Growth rate in the G7 countries.

Tper cent and 88 per cent of these costs have been passed on to consumers.

The changes have benefitted domestic producers of food, who now have less competition from European imports. But the gains to domestic firms are outstripped by the loss to domestic consumers by more than £1 billion. Additionally, unlike regular tariffs, NTBs do not generate any revenue for the government.

Richard Davies, an associate of CEP’s growth programme and a professor at Bristol University and study co-author, said: “The UK inflation rate rose above 11 per cent in 2022, the highest rate in 40 years. Many factors, affecting both supply and demand for goods and services, are involved. One factor in this high inflation has been the rise in non-tariff barriers for trade with the EU.

“In leaving the EU, the UK swapped a deep trade relationship with few impediments to trade for one where a wide range of checks, forms and steps are required before goods can cross the border. Firms faced higher costs and passed most of these onto consumers. Over the two years to the end of 2021, Brexit increased food prices by around six per cent overall.”

Nikhil Datta, an associate of CEP’s labour markets programme and an assistant professor of economics at Warwick University and study co-author, said: “The policy implications are stark: non-tariff barriers are an important impediment to trade that should be a first-order concern, at least on par with tariffs, for policymakers interested in low consumer prices.

“We calculate that Brexit caused a loss of £210 for the average household, or £5.84 billion overall, when looking at its impact on the food market alone. Since poorer households spend a larger fraction of their income on food, they are hit harder.”

What's that got to do with Brexit (there's a free trade deal in effect)?
The global picture is this:
Legacy debts from the Covid crisis.
War in Ukraine (a major agricultural supplier to the global market).
Necessary sanctions against Russia have meant reduced fuel supplies and increased global transport costs.
In response to climate change the government closed all our coal fired power stations before replacement wattage was supplied to the grid and a fire in 2021 shut down the undersea cable from France which government had relied on to make up the shortfall.

As more infrastructure is built, electricity costs are going down.
North Sea gas extraction is also going up.

Have you not read my post before this one vinny and it just shows were the worst economy in G7 and they all had covd
And anything else.

The only difference what effects out economy and not the other G7 countries
Is Brexit it is obvious reason why were the worst Economy

Biggest contraction in the G7 in 2020, biggest economic rebound in the G7 in 2021.
Balances out and now we're out performing a number of EU members.

So, rather than talk about regret, lets talk about the benefits and the future.

It obviously is working so lets not talk our economy down.

£223.3bn exported to the EU in 2015.
£363 bn exported to the EU in the four quarters to June 2023.

If Brexit wasn't working we'd be selling less (inflation adjusted) than we were in 2015.

So, with the economy growing and unemployment down.
What exactly are you missing?
