Only one in 10 feel leaving the EU has helped their finances, while just 9% say it has benefited the NHS, despite £350m a week pledge

A clear majority of the British public now believes Brexit has been bad for the UK economy, has driven up prices in shops, and has hampered government attempts to control immigration, according to a landmark poll by Opinium to mark the third anniversary of the UK fully leaving the EU single market and customs unions.

The survey of more than 2,000 UK voters also finds strikingly low numbers of people who believe that Brexit has been of benefit to them or the country.

    I wonder. In Australia, Germany, and the bulk of the world prices are crazy, due to greed in the covid times.

    The inflation is mostly energy squeeze because of the Ukraine war and the supply issues for Russian oil and gas.

    Don’t take my word for it, look at the graphs.

    It’s not COVID.

      Maybe in DE and UK, but Australia is a major energy producer, compared to our population. That doesn’t hold up for Australia, NZ, etc etc

        Oh dear. Sorry I misread “Australia, Germany” as “Austria, Germany”.

        Germany, definitely Russian oil. Australia, no clue mate ;)

        However the bulk of Australian natural gas is contracted to be shipped overseas (mostly to china), so despite the abundance of the resource it’s mostly not available for local usage. Besides even if it was world market prices will prevail. If you think Clive, Woodside or Gina are going to cut a discount to the aussie public when they can make more shipping it overseas then I have a bridge for sale
