Unfortunately, or fortunately for them perhaps, the Brexshiteers and Tory supporters have been gifted a few excuses which they have used, and are continuing to use, to excuse the Tory government's abysmal performance over the past twelve years - not least being Covid (which they claim as a victory, despite the couple of hundred thousand deaths and the billions they gave away to their friends, relatives, and local pub landlords for bogus PPE contracts etc.) and now the war in Ukraine (funny, innit - they are happy to use that as an excuse for rocketing inflation, high energy costs, rising interest rates, yadda, yadda, yet when the last Labour government had to deal with the effects of a world-wide financial crash, and had to fork out hundreds of billions to rescue the Tories' mates, the Bankers, whose profligacy and recklessness had caused the crash in the first place, the Tories claimed, and are still trying to profit from their lie, that 'The Labour Party crashed the economy').
