Brexit related recession?

[MarshPhantom]

All over the news yesterday about consumer spending having nosedived since the start of year due to rampant inflation (more expensive imports).

Project fear?




You can't blame Labour for this one.

Ok, so we leave our largest single trading partner (who have apparently been breaking EU rules on subsidy, I have to bow to your greater knowledge on that score) which COULD theoretically limit our trading base. It would allow governmental intervention, yes, but how would it be funded if we're limiting our trading opportunities?

We aren't limiting our trading opportunities - you do know that there's a whole world outside of the EU?

Anyone remember the adverts "Slam in the Lamb"? Anyone wonder why we don't really see NZ lamb any more? EU. This is a world that was fairly recently open to us.

Why does it make more sense to pay to import lamb from the other side of the world rather than the other side of the channel?

Why does it make sense not to have the choice?

I don't even understand the question.

Sainsbury's profits down 8.2%, I'm sure this must be completely Brexit unrelated.

New car registrations down 20% in April. Blamed on changes to the new vehicle taxation system but it doesn't look good.

This is one of the most stupid threads I've seen on here in a while.

And populated mostly by posters with less economic expertise and appreciation than Gordon Brown.

That's just one moronic argument on this thread - there are many others, both pro and anti-Brexit.

I agree - it's not like Marshphantom hasn't got previous for starting threads where other suitable ones exist and promoting his own anti brexit - anti tory agenda discussion points.

Next down the toilet too.

Hopes that a weaker pound would be good for
exports have proved over-optimistic.
