: "’I want to remind you what Nigel Farage said about Brexit. He said it would make us richer. Wrong. It made us poorer. He said it would reduce migration. Wrong. Migration went through the roof. He said it would make us more secure. Wrong again. He just fled the scene and now he will talk about almost anything other the consequences of what they delivered. He is not just a grifter, he’s a chancer.”
So typically leftist; blame the guy trying to save the country for what you yourself caused.
If Britain is poorer it's not because of Brexit but because of terrible economic policy advocated by Labour and the Conservative fellow travelers. If didn't reduce migration because Labour and the Conservative fellow travelers refused to enforce immigration law. I'm not sure how Stammer, er, Starmer thinks Britain is any less safe now then when it was part of the Euro-blob, but he just says it so it must be true!
As always with the Left he accuses others of what he himself is most guilty.
The British elites never forgave their people for leaving the E.U. and have been utterly determined to get them back in. They want to punish the citizenry by doubling down on the policies that drove the people to reject union with Europe in the first place.
BTW despite the Covid lockdowns and the vast economic damage done by Covid the British economy is about in the same position as it was in 2015. despite a large loss from Covid.
The article states:
"Despite the economic headwinds of Brexit and COVID-19, the UK economy is expected to grow by four percent in 2021, and then by 7.3 percent in 2022. Much of this growth will be driven by the British economy returning to full strength after lockdown ends, which may be as early as Summer 2021 due to the UK's successful vaccination drive. This is in contrast to the rest of Europe whose vaccination response has been hindered by supply issues, vaccine hesitancy, and a generally slow bureaucracy."
And yet last year it grew at a pathetic rate, barely over 1%. Starmer and Labour are trying to pin the blame on Brexit but in reality it is because the socialist Labour party took over and has implemented policies that are ruining the economy. The public sees that, among other things, which is why Labour got creamed in municipal elections.
As Margaret Thatcher said, the problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other people's money. That's precisely what has happened in lesser Britain.
