I've just checked..

The economy declined five quarters in a row.

Average wages fell. Not accounting for inflation. The actual average wage fell.

Unemployment was 8%. Youth unemployment 20%. Both pretty much double the last few years.

Consumer confidence hit -40.

Covid aside, 2008-10 were the worst years in recent history in many respects.

Anyone who thought that was automatically fixed by a change of government was wrong. Anyone who thinks that now is the same.

Not to say there aren't other benefits of change, but the fundamentals won't change.
2008 - 10, global recession, perhaps poorly managed v Brexit and Truss where the UK 'powers that be' committed economic hari Kiri.
