Brexit is destroying Britain

The effect Liz Truss had was short lived, interest rate rises were due to global factors. This article from the FT agrees with mehttps://www.ft.com/content/18eedb62-a5c7-496e-9e8e-c6273f217fdb

The cost of Brexit can be argued about forever with some like you being pessimistic or some like me being optimistic. The point is it's subjective. It was obvious there would be a transition period after leaving same as there was when we joined. The economy collapsed and we were humiliating bailed out by the IMF in 1976. I don't blame that on the EEC, but if it happened now, the likely suspects would be jumping up and down with glee and blaming Brexit.

Corruption is unacceptable but has always been there and is nothing to do with Brexit. Cash for questions? Expenses scandal? Nothing to do with EU related matters.

The issue of Gordon Brown's competence as Chancellor is totally different from corruption, I never alleged that he was corrupt. It was an expensive display of economic incompetence, the rose coloured spectacles also miss that he presided over the years leading up to the Banking crisis, I had a financial services business at the time and I know how incompetent the regulation on mortgages was, all down to the Labour Government.
In her childlike excitement, Truss failed to take note or professional advice that interest rates were already rising around the world, but the thing that really spooked the market was her unfunded Energy Price Guarantee which was predicted to cost up to £140 billion over two years. :banghead:

Right or wrong.
It's happened.
So all need to move on.
I guess in most if not all functioning political systems, at least one major political party, would advocate for the correction of a major policy error. At a minimum, they would create the platform for, and drive the debate about the merits for reversal, of obvious bad policies.
However, and alarmingly, quite the opposite applies in UK. The opposition, are scared to take up the mantle, of true opposition, and promise only to double down on the error when in government.
UK, is but a political Marie Celeste. Those responsible for the vessel, have all disappeared.

Maybe there are no merits of reversal.
