Thread Name: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
If you recall:

"Some Conservative MPs have said that prices will fall rather than rise as a result of Brexit, because it will be possible for the government to unilaterally reduce all tariffs to zero so consumers can get goods at the cheapest price on the world market."

It may have escaped your notice but other governments can apply tariffs too. Therefore it is not feasible for the UK government to unilaterally reduce all tariffs to zero.

However that is one small part of an article that indicates the cost of living WILL increase, and that puts an even bigger burden on those less able to afford it.

Yet another example of the "caring" conservatives "building a country that works for everyone"
