- Well done Brian Cox for raising the elephant in the room that most politicians are too terrified to mention in this election - the catastrophic damage which has been inflicted & continues to be inflicted on the UK economy by Brexit
BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg almost fell off her chair
Only Britain suffered from Covid and the war in Ukraine...is that what she said??
More or less but when you look at happened in our closest comparable countries US, Germany, France and Italy the pattern was startlingly similar until the Brexit changes actually started to hurt as a result the UK has been slower to recover.
Brexit also hurt our main European trading partners to a lesser degree.
It might as well have been
Yes and I almost fell off my seat.
She peddles the Tory whataboutery.
that right Covid is the cause of everything that has gone wrong according to the Tories and of course Ukraine , nothing What so ever to do with any Government decisions , I mean how could it be as they never ever do anything wrong , Its always Covid , Ukraine , or Labour
Keunnsberg is so ego-driven and blinkered, she believes she knows more than actual economic experts. It's tragic.

Where did anyone claim Brian is an economic expert? I don't know why an actor was on that panel, but he wasn't presenting himself as an expert. He was _citing_ experts. He cited OBR and Goldman-Sachs. That's who the host seemed to be dismissing and overruling.
@@paulkennedy8701 Exactly, if someone is not an expert in a given field then surely it should be welcomed when they seek the opinion of those who are...rather than relying on something they have made up themselves or that can't be backed up appropriately.
He is quoting Experts !
A political panel show on the BBC without Farage or Tice, what happened Laura were you taken by surprise with so eone actually talking about the rexit disaster.
Tory Kuenssberg having difficulty coping with inconvenient facts. 😅😅
Tory? She's a pseudo-communist . . .
@EllieMaes-Grandad Get real. Kuenssberg is a Tory Shill. Her blatent\' support for the Tories when she's supposed to be impartial is well known.
Kuenssberg, was so far up Johnsons, arse it was a wonder you could see her shoes.
She’s so far up Boris she can see Mad Nads shoes.
😂😂 Love that description.
Without sounding rude I think it was the other way round?????
and Nadine was in there too.
She was Johnson's brown noser-in-chief
She's spouting the Tory mantra. Impartial?????
She has a bit of a point but he should have built those common responses into his argument or response, we are doing a lot worse than any other country with the same pressures applied to them.
@@user-sd3ik9rt6d Which other countries have had the Tory Party in charge during Covid and the war in Ukraine?
@@marksimons8861 Europe is suffering from the war in Ukraine.
I gave up watching BBC News a long time ago, as it frequently had reports by Laura K. Now she can't brown nose any more to get insider information since Johnson resigned, her political clout is greatly reduced, leaving just her clear political bias. An embarrassment of a political reporter/presenter, GB News should be her next port of call, she'll feel right at home there.
It's Laura K. The Johnson's personal spokesperson and never knowingly neutral.
It's the elephant in the room that neither of the two main parties want to talk about, perhaps on the benighted assumption if you don't talk about it, it might just go away.
Maybe Laura should inform the OBR and Goldman Sachs that it is not possible to make estimates on what Brexit is costing the UK according to her.
Maybe they are new to financial estimates or didnt realise that she works for the BBC business dept ? Well done Brian.
@davdonoghue Bexit was never implimented by the tories and remainer civil servants refuse to impliment it. We are still waiting for it to happen. So where did those figure come from yea OBE and Goldman Sachs to prop up the markets false numbers just to steady the boat.OBR and Goldman Sachs they are bigger crooks than politicans and that saying something.

Yet when (if) she leaves the BBC she is apparently going to be employed (note, not work) by Kier Starmer?
In more ways than one.
Contrary to what Tory Laura says, it _isn't_ difficult at all to extract the Brexit-loss sum from the pandemic and war loss sums - economists and the government's own budgetary department have done it and published it!
I look forward to the Ofcom reprimand. Oh wait, they're from the same rotten cabal of spineless bootlickers.
don't let facts get in the way
It's not 'the governments own budgetary department' though, it's the civil service, and they're mostly incompetent, lazy and (as you should have gleaned from the aforementioned) globalist left wing ideologues. Just like Sunak, tragically for the UK.
Of course its not difficult. Most other European countries suffer just as much from these factors, in some cases even more like German industry getting cut off from Russian gas. But hey, the show is obviously running on its last legs when Dorries is invited as guest.
@rocketscience4516 To say Brexit was never impliment because the Tories along with their civil servants were remainers I would love to see what part of thin air they plucked those numbers from. Especially since we are still waiting for Brexit.

No surprise really. Also hardly any investigative journalism. BBC just don't hold the Tories to account. Plays an important role in our alleged democracy. Vast majority of the print media don't bother either.

Kuensberg of course knows better than professional analysts at Bloomberg and Goldmans as well as the OBR.
She's utterly clueless, leave Economics to the experts, of which she clearly isn't one.
He's saying exactly what so many of us know.
WHY IS THIS AN ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM.
I don't get it - anyone with half a brain knows our economy is behind the rest of Western Europe because we're no longer in the EU club.
We went from having a seat at the top table, to being a surly teenager throwing toys out the cot, to now being a complete outsider.
The various parts of the awful deal still haven't quite concluded - the pain continues to pile up.
Businesses up and down the land are screaming in almost mute agony over the hoops of flame they have to jump through, over lost revenue with many just giving up exporting.
Businesses in the EU are giving up on exporting into the UK, too much red tape, too expensive, not worth it.
And we're STILL not at the worst part of Brexit - it's the gift that's going to keep on giving, until someone with a set of Balls is able to take the blinkers off, is able to say "Screw the little englanders who would cry foul if we reversed this, let's reverse it and stop cutting our damn nose off!"
AARRRGGGHH!

Anyone else get the feeling there it was like watching a grandad say something he shouldn't at a family event and everyone there is like "every time"
Brian Cox’s remarks correctly centred on the economic distress Brexit has caused in the UK. Brexit and its negative consequences should be an election issue.
Labour don’t want a blame game. They want to focus on what they can fix in the first 5 years.
The can’t fix all 14 years of Tory incompetence in the first five.

Completely agree - esp with the Lineker comment.

Why does the host feel the need to mention covid and Ukraine as possible factors in our economic performance? The figures Brian quoted from reliable sources clearly specify Brexit as the focus of their assessments, its not the impact of covid or Ukraine that they were looking at. So why does the host conflate the issues?
Yes, but Laura knows we've all had enough of experts when they present facts that deviate from her narrative. Can't wait to see the back of her. Brian Cox being fabulous as ever.
She's apparently presenting the Election Night programme on BBC with fellow Tory Nick Robinson, so howzat for a bit of political neutrality? I'll be watching elsewhere, but will switch over to BBC for a few minutes when the magnitude of the likely Tory defeat hits home. By then, her face will resemble that of a smacked arse, no doubt.

Her response, and she’s a broadcaster, is to come straight back with a stock Tory excuse - the direct effects of Brexit cannot be divined because they would be mixed in with Ukraine and Covid. If I am not mistaken the data supplied by Mr. Cox is specific to Brexit.
Absolutely agree with him. We're committing economic suicide.

@@billykotsos4642 Well, I know where you're coming from but as the years roll by I find myself less convinced that the various PRs are really a solution. The oligarchies are the political parties, really. The entrenchment of influence and patronage that they represent is the real problem with current Western Democracy. It's ultimately based on a Roman model and of course the Roman model rather famously collapsed into the Roman Imperial system - which is where Trump is trying to go.
I want something much more direct. But while we were in the EU there's not really a point in voting at all because the European Parliament has no power worth speaking of. In the UK I can at least vote against the Tory bastards and for anyone that looks like they might move us towards reform (not Reform, of course - that's regression overdrive).
It does mean taking the risk that the vote won't go my way. But that's democracy. It's OUR responsibility and OUR fault if we vote in assholes. In the EU nobody has any responsibility and no one cares. The banks run the show with some input from a handful of commissioners who are easy to bribe. If people vote "the wrong way" then they are told to vote again or simply ignored. And it had a knock-on effect - political parties could (sometimes justifiably) pass the buck to the EU. "We would love to sort this out but the EU won't let us"... Well, that excuse has gone too and the Tories are seeing the result of continuing to allow fuckwits and halfwits lead them without that shied to deflect the blame.
