Via ONS, UK GDP is still 0.8% below pre-pandemic level, leaving the UK as the only G7 economy with output still below pre-COVID level. US GDP is 4.3% above its 2019 level, Eurozone 2.2% above.

The realities of #brexit as a global policy, particularly in 2022 given the geopolitical, economic and trading realities, has completely failed. It feels inevitable we will realign with the EU.

But how do we unwind this mess? And how quickly can this be done? Without further damaging the UK.

@jackLondon @rossbright indeed. Only once the tories are gone can we start to have a grown up conversation, but that has to begin with electoral reform so we can actually vote for what we want rather than against what we don't. I fear a labour landslide will result in complacency, again, from labour.
