I have to disagree; I think Brexit played a big role.

The whole Truss philosophy was based on taking advantage of so called Brexit opportunities by de-regulating and creating a low tax environment. That type of philosophy in many ways summarizes the Singapore on Thames that many of the Tory right dream of and also the members.

Of course, reality hit home with the market reaction to borrowing billions to do that; equally, that reaction was probably to some extent a reaction to Britain being "on its own" and now seen as a risky proposition.

Another aspect that arose was, of course, immigration; Truss wanted to loosen the barriers so that there was labour available to drive growth; that however, was completely unacceptable to the Brexiteers including Braverman.

For me, Brexit is at the heart of much of the political turmoil of recent times especially as the costs - in terms of impact on GDP for example - become clearer by the day.

Tory millionaire backer says UK economy is ‘frankly doomed’ without Brexit renegotiation.

Guy Hands says Conservatives are putting country ‘on a path to be sick man of Europe’.

We are so doomed we will need a bailout from the IMF.

To be fair to Truss she did try to enforce the brexit dream, but it looked a disaster from the first minute, and we will pay down the years for just a few days madness.

If only, still toys being thrown out of prams by “grown ups”

Pre Brexit- britain had 90% of Germanys economy- now its 70%, I call that an outstanding success!

Obviously leaving the EU has made us poorer and impacted growth, it cannot logically be any other way.

Well Biden is Irish.
