What is the point of Laura Kuenssburg?

"Reduced Living Standards!"
Can you believe any government would actually keep #Brexit going?
Sounds insane!

In the meantime, Polish standards have soared even with a heavy military budget burden

I thought I read their median income is larger than that in Britain now B

It was planned to overtake Britain's by the end of the decade. Maybe it's happened already.

gippersgravespin.bsky.social•133 days ago

That must be what I read, it’s not there now. Just checked.

In case you missed it ...
"Britain is now paying the price for leaving the EU. By 2024, the average UK household will have a lower living standard than the average household in Slovenia. By 2030, on present trends, it will be poorer than the average household in Poland."

I was there in 2006, but today the country’s transformation is astounding, especially infrastructure.

brexitbin.bsky.social•133 days ago

Yes. I was just there over Christmas. It's surging ahead.

Outside looking in. Sadly I think too many people forget just how deeply xenophobia in buried in British (primarily English) hearts.
I speak as someone who encountered it frequently in England

brexitbin.bsky.social•133 days ago

Nonsense. It's no worse than anywhere else. Only a third voted for Brexit. Less than 15% support it now. Far less than in Hungary or elsewhere.

I was talking about how outsiders are viewed. I was told more than once ah but you're one of us. Wiping out my Irishness

There are bigots everywhere. To class an entire population as such because some beope are bigots is in itself bigotry.

vulcan800.bsky.social•132 days ago

I accept that. But never the less there is a large degree of foreigners aren't as good feeling. Just look at the press

All true but I’ve found that people respond better to emotional triggers than logical fact based ones.

brexitbin.bsky.social•133 days ago

Emotion based on facts is effective.
Emotion without facts is populism.

mickhitchin.bsky.social•133 days ago

Happy to aim for the former not the latter.

brexitbin.bsky.social•133 days ago

That's what we've been doing for 8+ years.

mickhitchin.bsky.social•133 days ago

Yep.
