Note the Office for Budget Responsibility predicted the decline in trade since Brexit WILL CONTINUE. The OBR forecasts show that imports and exports are down 15% on where they should be had Brexit not occurred. This info was quietly disclosed on the day of Rishi Sunak's Budget announcement.
The Tories decided to punish those on benefits. Universal Credit taper rate has been reduced. Hence the Resolution Foundation warns that this will push one million people into poverty. That means more debt, not eating properly and having no ability to keep warm. The reason for the cut? Inflation is at 6.2%, the highest in 30 years! Additionally, pasta has gone up by 9.4%, milk by 11.1% and electricity bills by 23%.
Sunak is the richest man in the Brit Parliament. He refused to say if he would personally benefit from the increased share price of Moderna due to its government Covid-19 vaccine contracts. The hedge fund he co-founded was a major investor in Moderna, but allegedly invested in a blind trust?? The man is a "snake TBF"!!
The dire financial costs of Brexit were well known on this Sb board and predicted by financial experts elsewhere. These were dismissed by the lying bastards/Tory Brexiteers who are now running the country after usurping their own political party/govt. We could remedy the situation in Scotland with independence. However, there is no serious campaign for this and no leadership currently to make it happen. IMO workers in Scotland would be wise to mobilise to remove the Tories and bring about liberation. This can't be done through the existing structures and tainted institutions - invoke George Buchanan's well known "right of resistance" eh!!
