Suez taught us our future lay in Europe. So will Brexit

Britain's two great self-inflicted crises of the postwar era point to a conclusion that voters may soon rediscover for themselves

Many countries are experiencing economic problems associated with the pandemic and supply chain shortages, but none is in such a bad position as the UK.

This is entirely because of Brexit. Quite apart from the multiplicity of crises associated with the acute shortage of heavy goods vehicle drivers - pigs being culled, but not for eating, farmers pouring milk down the drain, queues for petrol, you name it - the economic self-harm is now showing up in the statistics, with the International Monetary Fund putting the UK bottom of its Group of Seven future growth league. This contrasts with our prime minister's shallow claims that the UK is currently enjoying the fastest growth in the G7.
