Ten years of blubbing, and striving to silence people that pointed out they got **** all right, which time has confirmed, and they ended up killing their own bit of the forum and despite their attempts, they can't entice us over there, so desperately fish to be noticed here. Enjoy this rare bit of attention ladies. I'll have a look back at your latest meltdown some time. Please try and change your bait though, you failed with all this **** years ago, it's hardly likely to work now it stinks to high heaven.
Is now good time to remind everyone that there is no politics thread on the Prem Board because somebody's persistent whining to the mods got it closed down?
You do know that the rail problem is between private companies and their employees (or employees representatives) so **** all to do with the Government (regardless of persuasion)
Brexit has damaged UK’s competitiveness, reduced productivity and lowered Brits’ real wages, LSE says BY:MICHIEL WILLEMS Boris Johnson and former Brexit minister David Davis at the Tory party conference in 2017 A new bombshell study said this morning that Brexit has damaged Britain’s competitiveness, reducing productivity and lowering workers’ real wages in the years ahead. The report said Britain has experienced a decline of 8 per cent in trade openness – trade as a share of economic output – since 2019, losing market share across three of its largest non-EU goods import markets in 2021, the US, Canada and Japan. The report said the immediate impact of the referendum result has been clear, with a “depreciation-driven inflation spike” increasing the cost of living for households, and seeing business investment falling. The Resolution Foundation and the LSE said leaving the EU has reduced how open and competitive Britain’s economy is. The UK has not seen a large relative decline in its exports to the EU that many predicted, although imports from the EU have fallen more swiftly than those from the rest of the world, the study suggested. Less competitive The full effect of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement will take years to be felt but the move towards a more closed economy, say the authors, will make the UK less competitive, which will reduce productivity and real wages, it was predicted. The research estimated that labour productivity will be reduced by 1.3 per cent by the end of the decade by the changes in trading rules alone, contributing to weaker wage growth, with real pay set to be £470 per worker lower each year, on average, than it would otherwise have been. Output of our fishing industry is expected to decline by 30 per cent and some workers will face “painful adjustments”, said the foundation.

Sophie Hale, principal economist at the Resolution Foundation, said: “Brexit represents the biggest change to Britain’s economic relationship with the rest of the world in half a century. “This has led many to predict that it would cause a particularly big fall in exports to the EU, and fundamentally reshape Britain’s economy towards more manufacturing. “The first of these has not come to pass, and the second looks unlikely to do so. Instead, Brexit has had a more diffuse impact by reducing the UK’s competitiveness and openness to trade with a wider range of countries. This will ultimately reduce productivity, and workers’ real wages too. “Some sectors – including fisheries – still face significant change to come in the years ahead, but the overall services-led nature of the UK economy will remain largely unaffected.” Hilary Benn, Labour MP and co-convenor of the UK Trade and Business Commission, said: “The Government’s Brexit deal is making businesses and consumers poorer at a time when people up and down the country are struggling to make ends meet. “This research makes clear that these are not just teething problems but actually a long-term economic problem that will continue unless something is done about it. “There’s only so long that the Government can hide from these warnings. Denial is not an effective policy. “Ministers must now review their Brexit deal, reopen conversations with the EU and set out the steps they intend to take to make the UK more competitive.”
How many times are you going to post this? As an aside, who gives a **** as long as we continue to do what's right. Oh, you are not in the club so are beasts.
