The UK Politics and EU Referendum thread - merged

So we learn today that London house prices have fallen again this month, down by an average of £5,000 since July, and that inflation is now up to 3.0% or 3.9%, depending on which index you use.

Well done Brexit voters.

Brexit has had a massive impact but it's not the only driving factor for inflation. 

Brexit could have been a great opportunity it's just such a shame that it's been left to a farcical government incapable of providing "strong and stable leadership" to handle it.  Car crash tories.  Will be fun when it does go tits up completely no longer will we here the cries from the right about how the left crashed the economy. 

Don't you think they're just trying to kick the can far enough down the road to muddy the waters about whose fault it was? If the worst of the crisis takes place under the next government, they'll deflect most of the blame at that point.
