Why is delivering Brexit seen as something positive accomplishment by this prime minister? the Brexit deal negotiated by this Government was the worst possible deal for the UK. Why does the UK have highest inflation rate in Europe when we have our own currency and thus we can set our own monetary policy, contrast that with European countries with the Euro who CAN'T set national monetary policies yet have lower inflation than us. This Government has played large part in ruining the economy and is now trying come up with policies to help with the rising cost of living which they had big hand in creating. I understand there are other factors such rising cost of energy due to the the war in Ukraine, but that affects all European countries, not just the UK.

After WW2, a British negotiator went to USA for talks regarding payment for assistance during the war.

Despite him having all the information at his fingertips and did not falter, the USA would not yield whatsoever. We only finished paying for WW2 to the USA in 2006!
