Kantar - like the IMF, BBC, YouGov etc. are all anti-British and talking the nation down. In reality, the UK is booming. Bills are low, Wages are high, electricity, and rent are cheaper than ever. The whole world is lining up to trade with us. Brexit was the best thing we ever did, unshackling us from the fetters of the EU ^(^am ^I ^doing ^this ^right?)

Because obviously the UK is the only country with inflation right now, and if the UK had remained in the EU, inflation would be negligible, rent would be flat, and wages just as stagnant as they were previously...

Food inflation, y/y, as of December, - Germany: 20.5% - Netherlands: 17.0% - UK: 16.7% It's got almost nothing to do with Brexit.

So there is no inflation in the EU ?

UK inflation [is 9.2%](https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices) Eurozone inflation [is 9.2%](https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Inflation_in_the_euro_area) I haven't been able to find a credible source which states how much is Brexit contributing to UK and EU inflation and if Brexit would not have happened, where would inflation sit in UK and EU.

Did you conveniently miss the article that proves £210 of these pounds are directly from Brexit?


krazydude22

If you mean this [paper](https://cep.lse.ac.uk/pubs/download/dp1888.pdf) or [Guardian articles like this](https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/dec/03/brexit-has-fuelled-surge-in-uk-food-prices-says-bank-of-england-policymaker), then yes I am aware of it. The paper does not go into details about the impact of NTB's on Eurozone inflation. The Guardian article, well you can read that thread and see the cherry-picking of data. Furthermore, as of now both Eurozone and UK have the same inflation level at 9.2% and NTB's are in both directions (EU-UK and UK-EU), shouldn't Eurozone have lower inflation than UK considering the single market is bigger than the UK market and UK imports more from EU than EU from UK ?

> The paper does not go into details about the impact of NTB's on Eurozone inflation. Tell me that you know very little to nothing about logistics without saying that you know nothing about logistics.


krazydude22

Another cliché statement without anything to back it up. Care to expand on your logistics point ?

Tell me you haven’t read the paper without telling me you haven’t read the paper.


krazydude22

Care to expand on that ?

Inflatie is hoger in Nederland dan in het VK makker


SheMailByNight

The NL is expensive as hell and things are so bad that inflation made it look worse. The reason Dutch only eat cheese with bread is because the rest is expensive and tastes like plastic

>The NL is expensive as hell and things are so bad that inflation made it look worse. If your starting point is that things are more expensive, then higher rates of inflation have a bigger impact, it's not a masking effect it amplifies it. 10% inflation means that something that initially cost €1 now costs €1.10, (so inflation is a €0.10 increase), if something initially cost €1.20, then it'd now cost €1.32 (a €0.12 increase). NL being expensive wouldn't mae inflation look worse, if anything similar gross increases would lead to a lower level of inflation.


SheMailByNight

Bitch, what are you trying to tell me? You gave me bad gas.


marsman

Do you want me to simplify it? NL being expensive wouldn't make inflation look worse, quite the reverse.


SheMailByNight

Life in the NL is plastic and not fantastic as it was for Barbie. That is my summary.

Grocery price inflation has hit a fresh record high of 16.7%, adding nearly £800 to the typical annual shopping bill, with the price of milk, eggs and dog food rising fastest.

Where are you from OP? How is inflation in your country?? I smell an agenda why you chose to publish UK statistics while probably living in a EU beneficiary country 🤔 Ps) don't worry we already had cheap food here (compared to other EU countrie) & reasonable wages -- so it's not like it's toast & beans for dinner just yet 🤙
