A Lost Decade Worse Than Japan's Threatens to Change UK Forever

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : One Tory MP, who asked not to be named, said the party's focus on Europe and pursuit of Brexit meant it had effectively squandered 13 years in office.
48% : The UK has been treading water, initially due to poor productivity and the impact of government spending cuts, compounded by labor supply issues due to Brexit and the pandemic.
47% : Bloomberg analysis of official data and Bank of England forecasts shows UK growth will average 0.8% a year between 2016 -- when Britons narrowly voted to leave the European Union -- and 2025.
37% : The shift down the gears also risks undermining Britain more broadly, from lost dynamism in London to a lack of sway relative to the US, European Union and China on trade and climate change.
