If I had rA's mindset I'd blame it all on Brexit, and undoubtedly there is an element of blame to be laid at that door, but essentially a problem driven by wider issues as all economies are suffering. But I don't see many countries cutting tax for high earners as a solution
Tbf GP...I don’t blame everything on Brexit...I mean it’s not why Derby got relegated...and I don’t want Johnson back at any price, although I accept he wasn’t as insane as this appears to be and, as MA suggests...May, Cameron or Major would be idyllic compared to what we appear to have now.
This isn’t completely to do with Brexit...or the pandemic...or Putin I know...and I also recognise we’re not alone, but we are, I think, the only ones cutting taxes for the wealthiest and as for Labour ‘not being trusted’...how long have the Tories been in power?
