  • Eurozone inflation falls to 5.5% in sharp contrast to UK

  • Any changes to ONS methodology is published openly. Again, source please.

    Core inflation excludes volatilities, that's literally the definition

    And why not compare countries with high inflation?

    Hasn;t Brexit already cost more than our total contributions over 47 years?

    No

    Even by the measure that the OBR states, GDP per capita, UK was 2nd in Europe in 2016 and is still 2nd in 2022. The economic impact has been massively overstated.

    Investment may have been delayed, but that's just delayed. There's plenty of money looking at undervalued UK companies in deeptech and fintech

  • Tory private ownership arguments are intellectually bankrupt. Can we seriously still apply hanlon's razor?

    Jump

  • Yep on opex, but where would the capex investment come from in the public ownership model?

  • No, the disruption to supply chains from covid and brexit have driven investment decisions to grow more in the UK and to use tech to replace low skill labour that wasn't possible with FOM providing serfs to grub about in the dirt. Cheap labour is a barrier to tech. Modern slavery is a big issue in farming

    The CAP was designed to deliver cheap food during conflict, it's failed at the first real test.

    The CAP takes the largest slice of the EU budget and the 'modern' farming it encourages have destroyed biodiversity and soil

    Policy to fix this has failed miserably to the tune of our entire net contribution to the budget of 66b

  • The CAP is an environmental disaster. The UK has now created its own agriculture policy that does not subsidise production. This was not possible whilst in the EU.

  • No doubt. European austerity made it worse though post GFC. The US and China used a shed load more fiscal stimulus than the EU, and have added trillions of extra GDP as a result.

  • I work in agtech, brexit is a gift, it's caused disruption that's a great catalyst for investment in regenerative and vertical farming

    Problems are opportunities

    Wage growth is also high as a result of the labour squeeze that brexit is partially affecting

  • So because the US has terribly performing states, that somehow justifies not being able to set your own monetary policy? That's a weird argument.

    Maybe the reason Spain and all the other Southern European countries that struggle to run a decent economy is because the euro is set up to benefit the biggest manufacturers...

  • That's a conspiracy theory. Show me one respected statistician that casts any doubt on the ONS' output

    They are the 3 European countries with high inflation, I'm guessing you don't know the reasons why? Hint, energy price caps and their implementation.

  • It's called core inflation. It doesn't include volatiles.

    And you're ignoring the second half of the first paragraph?

  • People pay water rates Michael. This is an income bearing asset that could have supported other public programs

    I think his point is that private investment takes the place of public borrowing, which has an opportunity cost.

    Private investment is going to maximise its return unless well regulated, which it isn't.

    It's just yet more failed Tory policy, and this is pre even Cameron and Osborne's fuck ups.

  • Neither is the UK... The problem with being in the eurozone is that member states have no central bank. Spain, for example, is unable to reduce interest rates despite their CPI being under the ECB target of 2% and unemployment over 13%

    Instead, the ECB will probably be hiking rates more to quell inflation in other member states.

  • Did Austria, the Netherlands and Sweden brexit as well?

    Edit. Why is it ok to compare UK to average of the Eurozone but not to the countries with high inflation? Double standards methinks
