Brexit Britain still outperform­ing EU

-

WHETHER it’s unemployme­nt, inflation or economic growth, as a Leave voter it’s good to see that Brexit Britain is continuing to outperform the Eurozone.

However, if the UK rejoined the EU, we would be forced to join the euro.

Figures have just been released for September 2022. Average unemployme­nt for the UK: 3.5 percent. Average unemployme­nt for the Eurozone: 6.6 percent. Average youth unemployme­nt for the UK: 7.5 percent and falling. For the Eurozone: 14.6 percent and rising. Inflation for the UK: 8.8 percent. For the Eurozone: 9.9 percent.

The UK had the fastest economic growth in the G7 last year according to the Internatio­nal Monetary Fund, and is expected to retain its number one position this year as well. Despite the negativity from the usual remoaner suspects and mainstream media, on the three key measures of jobs, prices and economic growth, Brexit Britain is continuing to do better.

Brexit did not plunge Britain into this economic crisis. Brexit did not introduce a virus which took a sledgehamm­er to global supply chains. Brexit did not run up public debt and force us to print half a trillion pounds to furlough the country for two years. And Brexit certainly did not run down our energy supplies as Russia invaded Ukraine and we pursued an insane net zero agenda.

As for Project Fear, where were the job losses of between 500k and 820k forecast by George Osborne as an immediate result of Leave winning? Instead the opposite happened, with a 1.7 million increase! Just one of the many prediction­s from Project Fear which never came to pass.

We now just need a political party to properly enact the advantages of Brexit: freedom, independen­ce and taking back control.

Sadly this will never be Labour who tried for three years to overturn the Leave vote, nor the present Conservati­ves who have simply morphed into some kind of Consociali­st party under Sunak and Hunt.

I will never vote to rejoin an unelected, corrupt EU. I just have to hope that the Reform Party (formerly the Brexit Party) can play some part in taking Brexit Britain forward.
