$1 = £0.645

May 2022
$1 = £0.791 (+23%)


disagree

So, you disagree that the pound collapsing 23% against the dollar has anything to do with it?

Wow.

A barrel of oil was £69.015 in August 2013 (based on your figures)
Today, it’s £83.846, again based on your figures.

And you’re denying that £14.831 is a big part of the problem?

and?

No problem with your countrymen exercising their civic rights.

They probably realised that eastern Europeans would undercut other migrants, have a read round the Gate Gourmet case. I saw one lot of poor including those from India replaced by eastern europeans because they were cheaper and not unionised.

• The average full-time salary in the UK fell 0.6% to £31,285 in 2021

So much for Eastern Europeans undercutting salaries.

Since freedom of movement has ended everyone has got decidely poorer, with wage rises below inflation and tax rises.

The Russian sanctions were imposed in February and March 2022.
