Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation.

But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

Have to say, it’s no comfort AT ALL surveying the Brexit wreckage knowing there are other (lesser) reasons for the damage.
Just makes Brexit all the more irresponsible and idiotic. Along with the stubborn refusal to properly fix it.
It’s all so tediously stupid.

Yes Brexit has weakened the economy, but here are other reasons it's struggling
The Chancellor has claimed that Britain's economic woes have been "compounded" by Brexit - but is that the case?

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has linked the UK's slow growth and rising taxes to the long-term effects of Brexit, arguing that the way Britain left the European Union has made the economy smaller and productivity weaker.

So, is Brexit to blame?
Most major studies - including those by the
OBR, the Constitution Society and Cambridge Econometrics - agree that Brexit has made the
UK economy smaller and weaker than it would otherwise have been, mainly because of lower trade and investment.
The estimated loss, between 4 and 5 per cent of GDP, is widely accepted by official and independent forecasts. But these studies also show that Brexit is not the only cause of Britain's economic problems. Weak productivity, years of underinvestment, global shocks and an ageing population have all added to the slowdown.
Verdict: Evidence from official and independent sources supports the claim that Brexit has weakened the UK economy.
But it is one of several factors holding back growth - not the only one.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Now, if Trump were making these remarks about himself I would be more than happy to see him promoted to the 13th level!
