The article critiques the UK government's handling of Brexit, particularly how Boris Johnson's deal negatively impacts economic growth. Despite the obvious consequences, including higher prices and lower tax revenue, key political figures like Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer downplay these issues. As the UK marks five years since leaving the EU, the author argues for the benefits of European freedom of movement and highlights that regions like Scotland, which voted to remain in the EU, suffer under current policies. The critique emphasizes a stark disconnect between political narratives and economic realities.
Boris Johnson's Brexit deal and Rachel Reeves's attempts to kickstart the economy ignore that Brexit significantly drags on Britain's growth prospects.
People are paying the price through higher food bills, lower growth, and lower tax revenue that could and should be spent on the NHS.
Today marks the fifth anniversary of the UK leaving the EU; the hard Brexit negotiated by Johnson has undermined economic stability and prosperity.
Freedom of movement within the EU enriched Scotland culturally and economically, yet Starmer seems influenced more by Farage than Scottish interests.
