I agree brexit been a disaster but the apocalyptic stance is to do with the war
That is a very short sighted view mate. If it were the case, all other countries, especially those in Europe would be in a similar position to us in the UK. But guess what, they are not.I agree brexit been a disaster but the apocalyptic stance is to do with the war

I never said it wasn’t down to this government or brexitl
The French Gov has placed a 4% energy price rise cap, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Italy and Greece have put similar caps in place.
Add that to the continued shambolic UK customs delays and its a perfect storm for rampant inflation and profiteering by the large corporations.
But none of that is down to Brexit and this government though is it?
Brexit is making it worse but it isn’t reason, well no, but it is the reason thats it is worse.I thought inflation was effecting everyone.
With any crisis they are number of factors, but brexit alone would have not have caused apocalyptic prices.
People are increasing their rates around the world. America, Australia have all increased their rates to help. It’s a global problem, not a brexit one. Brexit is making it worse for us but brexit isn’t the reason
EDF is 85% state-owned, so the French are better placed to resist energy cost pressures than we are. Over 75% of their electricity is nuclear powered. Our government has made a series of poor energy market decisions - privatisation, market fragmentation and the disastrous closure of 70% of our gas storage have all played their part.Redirect Notice

Remember the reason the tories gave for suggesting that we should break from the European Food Standards was that the Uk May wish to improve them…..We were always going to struggle in any crisis, Brexit or not. The shameful lack of investment in both public and private infrastructure has left us far too unproductive as a nation.
The work that Blair did when he was in charge was good; we had good productivity growth in comparison to other G7 countries. That's tanked under the Conservatives, which they knew it would.
Most of the time they know what the consequences of their actions will be but hope to wing it (particularly under Johnson).
That's why they keep delaying the Customs controls on goods coming in from the EU. They're hoping that the relationship between goods coming in that are in competition with domestic producers and goods coming in that are needed for the UK supply chain will balance out. We'll be in a worse position regardless, but as I said, they're winging it.
