PM issues Budget warning - Brexit and austerity impact 'worse than feared'
The Prime Minister told a behind-closed-doors meeting of Labour MPs the long-term impact of Tory austerity and a botched Brexit deal 'is worse than even we feared'
You blame Brexit, which is true, and exactly what economists and experts have been saying for a decade.
Perhaps if you started the process of reversing what polls say 87% of the country acknowledges was a mistake, it might help?
You know, just a thought.

Itβs clear to anyone paying attention that Farage gets an easy ride from the media. They give him as much airtime as he wants but never hold him to account for the damage heβs done.
So much of whatβs broken in Britain is thanks to Nigel Farage.

UK trade contribution to GDP βstagnatedβ since Brexit, warns WTO
Export of goods are languishing at 17% below pre-Covid levels
After ministers have started to admit the damage of Brexit, the World Trade Organisation has now cited it as a key reason for the downturn in global goods trade since 2018. The narrative is shifting and the tide is turning: Brexit was sold as a lie.

Any time anyone starts talking about taking us out of the ECHR, ask them two questions:
1. Which of these rights don't you believe in?
2. What exactly would you replace it with. And don't take any vague promises like Brexit benefits.

I agree with @timfarron.bsky.social.
It's hard to know which is worse: a Government which denied the problems caused by Brexit or one which acknowledges the mess but does nothing to deal with it.

What a chancer Nigel Farage is. His Brexit caused a massive surge in immigration, and now he tries to position himself as the person who will sort it out.
Reform is the answer to none of the UK's problems, unless you think that billionaires need to be even richer and you don't like having an NHS.

'I will never change my opinion about Brexit. This is one of the biggest mistakes in our [shared European] history, I think. And today I think it's much more visible.' Donald Tusk, Prime Minister, Poland
Nearly a decade after the referendum, the reality is clear. From the economy to freedom of movement, Brexitβs impact is still being felt, and will be, until we rebuild our relationship with our European neighbours.

After Brexit, BBC bosses secretly ordered that Brexit should not be mentioned or discussed again but sneakily didnβt reveal this to the public.
BBC Scotland, discussing issues clearly due to Brexit (like 10% NHS/care staff who left), NEVER mentioned Brexit!

The Brexit effect on the economy means Labour can't undo Conservative cuts, Conservative austerity. They just don't have the money.
And Starmer refuses to rejoin. "Not in my lifetime."

It doesn't get clearer than that. If anyone still thinks Farage is one of them, they need to be shown this video. This is before we even mention his role in Brexit.

We get to blame the tories for 15 years. Labour do have to own it at some pointing like acknowledging Brexit costs us 80bn a year and we wonβt get that back and then doing fuck all about it. The tories can own Brexit, Labour can own not having bollocks to reverse it cos Starmer is a pussy

"If Farage does come to power, Iβm fucked. I know that. But what you need to realise is that if you are a UK citizen, you are too."
The links between Trump, Brexit and Russia arenβt a hoax. The police knew. The government knew. The public didnβt know. Still barely knows a thing.
