Brexit is the perfect outcome for the UK, especially for the underprivileged, the following reasons explain why: 1) Prior to us joining the EU, our social housing stock was already very limited, however as soon as we joined the EU we were legally obliged to provide social housing to EU migrants, failure to do so would have resulted in Brussels penalising us. As a result many of native British people were deprived of social housing as some of it had to be given to EU leeches. 2) Prior to us joining the EU British employees had bargaining power over their employers; however when leeches migrated to the UK from other EU states, British employers were spoilt for choice, as there were even greater number of job applicants to choose from, this meant that employers could keep wages down to a absolute minimum, as leeches from EU states were willing to work for next to nothing, this adversely affected native British people. However post Brexit vote, many of those leeches have crawled back into the sewers they originally crawled out of; which means employers have no choice other than to employ British people, thus bargaining power has returned to us, we can dictate better wages and employers have two choices , they either give in to our demands, or see their businesses fold. Above are just 2 examples explaining why Brexit is the way to go.

As for those employers who claim they cannot afford to pay £15 an hour they will need to provide evidence.

This is a very credible view by Marr, it really makes sense: the radical Conservative Brexiters who want extreme disruption vs the nostalgic more numerous Conservative brexiters who wanted a gentler Brexit which has led to a deep rupture inside the Conservative party and alienated a significant number among Conservative voters.

[@peterc2248]

So many of the older generation - who mostly vote Conservative - have this idealised 1950's view of our country. We are no longer an empire, we don''t rule the waves and while we have pockets of technological excellence, we are no longe the industrial leaders of the world. We do need to carve a new niche but we have to be realistic. The whole notion of Brexit freeing us from the tyranny of the European yoke was wrong. We should have realised that as a small, island nation no longer able to call on global resources from the Commonwealth, we needed to be part of the team not be isolated. I got sucked in by Boris and the ERG ideologues and voted leave. I so, so, so wish I could go back in time 😞

Singapore?! Seriously!? Do people in the UK not do their research? It's not only that people in Singapore work, and work, and work; but the lack of the types of freedoms people on the UK enjoy should make British politicians think. Or maybe that's the idea, too!

Liz Truss is wrong wrong wrong !

their record since 2010 is beyond appalling. possibly the only positive, gay marriage, was a lib dem policy that needed labour to vote it through. everything else has been a disaster of epic proportions

What's happening to the Tories is what's already happened to the GOP, just with fewer guns.

[@owenokane9643]

They wanted to go back to a population of hat doffers, and they got that, up to a point, but at a disastrous cost to the economic well being to the UK and the majority of it's people. A very, very expensive cost paid for a little piece of nostalgia.

Hmm Singapore on Thames. Where does one start with that. Firstly the Singapore State owns most of the land. Most Singaporeans live in public housing. With the State capturing most of the land rent, taxes can obviously be very low. The UK is the exact opposite of this respect

[@hestergnu6627]

Very insightful take. Thanks for your POV Andrew Marr

[@valicourt]

Brexit reality hits Brexit expectations. Expectations and promises: Stronger economy, no financial impact, cheaper food products. Fishing industry will have their waters back and agricultural benefits. Immigration reduced to tens of thousands. Higher pay. Reality: weakest growing economy in the G20 ( except for Russia ) Higher prices for almost all products. Finishing industry decimated and can’t sell to Europe. Feeling betrayed. Agricultural industry promises for funding withdrawn. ( major policing shift ) Farmers betrayed. After inflation lower pay for most. Illegal immigration higher than ever. And because the U.K. left the Dublin treaty immigrants can’t be send back to first country of entry. Never mentioned in Brexit debate. Voters betrayed. Official government policy. Don’t mention Brexit. The very word should be avoided.

In Portugal we respect Uk and always took the British politicians as someone very wise and not like like the cowboys we have in south of Europe but this Liz Truss is well beyond what we could imagine, I can’t believe because of her craziness there are people paying an extra £500 per month in mortgage payments. She should be hold accountable and get the sack together with her KK

In her hustings at Wembley Arena she talks about 'Freedom and Democracy in Ukraine' but she's going off drastically the manifesto she and fellow Tory Mp's were elected to do, In the mandate there was no mention of 1.45p tax cut 2. Scrapping the Bankers Bonuses cap 3. Fracking Her 'majority is approx 50 Mp's she hasn't got the majority vote in her own party Sunak won that, She won 58-59% from 80,000 ish Tory members.

Good and intelligent assesment from Andrew Marr. One in my family voted brexit, even though the EU enabled me to live and work within Europe. Ten years in Germany now. Yes had all the brexiters calling me a traitor, etc. Glad I no longer live in the UK with all of its problems, caused in the main by the same brexit voting, nostalgic searching, short term thinking part of the population... Liz "no idea" Truss is hopefully the death of the conservative party, that as Andrew rightly points out, is no longer really conservative. Time for the rest of the UK to wake up - is it too late however?

[@simonegramigni]

Andrew Marr woke up after 6 years.
