"Everyone had always known that a change in trading relationships with the EU would cause a hit to the UK economy."
Where’s that line from mate ? It was too big a gamble to take in the hands of a buffoon who appoints other buffoons on the grounds of personal loyalty and ideology not ability.

Still waiting for the house prices to plummet and unemployment to reach 10,000,000, must be soon now.
Brexit (I voted for it) was always going to have a trade hit for a few years. Then Covid19 and the war has made it worse.
That would be a bit like me joining a gym and then deciding I did not want to pay my subscriptions any more, but still expecting to use the gym's facilities
I think all of the UK knows that Bonko very rarely tells the truth. If you want the opposite of someone "whose word is his bond"... Bonko is it. Yet he was elected PM.
