UK could be heading for recession in 2025 | LBC analysis

The UK is in a dire state, not aided by the self imposed financial mess of brexit and the failure to admit to it.

Brexit has ruined my small on line business. We do not sell the EU anymore, this was 50% of our sales. Many other export business are struggling. Its Brexit start talking about it, its a failure.

[@NeilLyall]

Agree I run a removals business - due to the burden of paperwork and uncertainties of customs regulations, it has become too troublesome to move to the EU and we are no longer servicing these enquiries. There have been no positives of Brexit as far as we are concerned.

Thats what happens when you put a home help, and a woman that worked in the complaints department at a call centre, the most important jobs in the country.

Stagflation for 2025 if companies chase up inflation. Those public sector pay rises awarded without any productivity gains are looking foolish. You’d think we had a government with no business experience wouldn’t you.

The UK should not look at the 10yr German bund as a benchmark which is in a different league, I would rather suggest to use the Greek one, and even there is a large (and widening) gap: 10 yr UK gilt today: 4.56 % 10 yr Greek bond today: 3.08 %

What the former Nat West chairman fails to mention is that one of the biggest (if not the biggest) drivers of inflation is housing costs, I.e. mortgages. Cutting interest rates would reduce this cost considerably and bring inflation down. I wonder why the ex Chairman of a bank wouldn't mention that...

[@alanhenley1866]

I fear that by adding the N.I. cost all onto the employer. It could have a negative effect on the wider economy. Gordon Brown applied this tax to the individual and not all on business to pay for improvements to the NHS-but that was against a benign economic background - not so today what the new Government has inherited is a huge public debt set against a weaker economic situation brought about by the incompetent leadership of Boris Johnson's Government to leave the EU. The perfect ecnomic storm you might say!

[@MCDONALD6969]

Doesn't this show you labour can't be trusted on the economy - surely that's obvious

[@1292liam]

all RR needed to do, was stick some more cash in the NHS and raise income tax + NI, a little. Job done. The rest was taxing the middle classes (and thus taking spending out of the wider economy), and taxing the working classes in the form of high inflation for longer
