Well it does represent soaring wage growth, yes. Wage growth, however, is an inflationary pressure, and inflation has been at or above wage growth since the Russian invasion of Ukraine and one of the highest tax burdens post-war mean that people generally do not feel better off.

That is because they aren't. Come on. Let's dispense with the technical language here and just admit that the large, grey pachyderm in the corner is, indeed, an elephant. Proportionately, the average person is having a much harder time economically right now than a decade ago. Can we agree on that?

You started this conversation by quoting the Manager of The Bank of England. He's not Labour (or at least doesn't work for the party) does he?

The Bank of England were asked by Cameron to intervene in both the Scottish independence referendum campaign and the Brexit referendum campaign and they did. Why are the Bank of England dredging Brexit up now when all the press are reporting that Starmer and Reeves are trying to dream up ways of getting at Farage and think reopening the Brexit debate might be the best way to do that? The Bank of England aren't affiliated to a political party but they are a politically influenced and politically influential body. They are not politically neutral.

I'd go further than that. I'd go back to the financial crash. We have never fully recovered and let's face it, Brexit probably wouldn't have happened if people felt like everything was moving in the right direction in 2016.

You're talking 2008? The global one thanks to sub-prime mortgages? I don't disagree. Of course, that also means that you are agreeing with me in that the average person in having a much harder time than a decade ago.

I just wanted to make sure it was clear that you raised this topic as a personal response to something the Bank of England's manager raised, not the Labour Party.

Brexit was a major Fúck up for the country it brought nothing good. You disagree? Tell what tangible it brang?

They fuǔcked the country once now they are trying to to do it twice are you going to support them?
