I though Europe was booming according to some of the wiser people on here?
So it's not Brexit related, or am I missing something
The majority of economic data in the last few months has generally been worse for most of Europe than for us, as I've been at pains to point out in numerous debates on here.
That isn't because Europe is a basket case, it's primarily because of the war in Ukraine which most of Europe is closer to than us. That and the legacy of the pandemic.
That's the big issue across Europe. Not Brexit, not the Tories, but Ukraine. Nothing is fixed til Ukraine is at peace.
have no fear Monkfish this is very high on the agenda of the new PM to bail us all out
It’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s an agenda.#CBDCs pic.twitter.com/8ogUk5uAz4

Not sure why you've brought me up or what you think is nonsensical about my posts?
You're the one that makes wild predictions and speculations or post cryptic one liners. I then ask for proof or reasonings or examples which you then ignore and deflect.
That's pretty much 99% of our interactions.
No she wasn't unfortunate. She went too far and created market chaos and then her chancellor indicated more tax cuts to come which spooked them further.
Unquestionably however, anyone who has governed any country, especially a european one, has been unfortunate with global events in the last 3 years.
The other pressure hitting us ( not Truss motivated ) is the Environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment agenda.
The ESG in the US where the old culture wars are kicking off big time see's Financial companies under pressure to deliver those these green pledges , and coming under pressure to deliver their fiscal goals they boasted about and folk invested in , bloody greenwashing.
Not just Europe whcih is a bigger worzry and not Truss realted
""The Fed increased its Target Fed Funds rate by 3/4%, despite the warning of some experts that the rate hike would be a full 1.0%. The new Fed Funds Target range is now 2.25% – 2.50%. Unlike the June 2022 meeting vote, this meeting's vote was unanimous!""
And the global forecast below does not bode well for whoever is in government if I was Richi I' d be well pissed with Truss as her mistake has made us look worse than it should , this issue is everywhere , Germany has an awful inflation forecast for 2023 ....
