At the same time, the government is cutting spending and hiking taxes to fill the hole in its budget. The sense of gloom hanging over the UK economy is captured by striking workers, who are walking out in ever larger numbers over pay and conditions as the worst inflation in decades eats into their wages.

All this has exacerbated Britain’s inflation problem, hurting workers and the business community. It’s weighing on imports and exports, sapping investment and contributing to labor shortages. Years of uncertainty over the future trading relationship with the European Union, Britain’s largest trading partner, have damaged business investment, which in the third quarter was 8% below pre-pandemic levels despite a UK-EU trade deal being in place for nearly two years.Īnd the pound has taken a beating, making imports more expensive and stoking inflation while failing to boost exports, even as other parts of the world have enjoyed a post-pandemic trade boom.īrexit has erected trade barriers for UK businesses and foreign companies that used Britain as a European base.

The Brexit deal would enable UK companies to “do even more business” with the European Union, according to Johnson, and would leave Britain free to strike trade deals around the world while continuing to export seamlessly to the EU market of 450 million consumers.
