The rest are still aiming for Brexit, despite Britain having voted democratically for six years to leave the bloc. One expert has pointed out that while the UK economy is in dire straits due to high inflation and stagnant wages and growth, not all of the UK’s problems can be attributed to leaving the bloc.
Phil Mullen writes for Spiked: “If Britain has been hit hardest by recent shocks, it is probably because it lacks the material resources and competent political leadership to deal with these shocks.
“These problems cannot be attributed to the Brexit vote, or to the end of the Brexit transition period earlier this year.”
Mr Mullen continued: “A quick look at the trends in business investment and productivity growth before and since 2016 shows how limited the impact of Brexit has been.
“The trends show that any post-Brexit fluctuations – and there will always be – are incidental to the bigger picture of the long-term decline in both investment and productivity growth in the UK.
“This economic decline was long before the referendum and does not show much, if any, additional Brexit impact.”
