I guess having wage stagnation over the last ten plus years, brexit, and significant price increases might have an impact…

Everything wrong with the UK just has to be a lazy uneducated response involving Brexit. Watch some Paris, Madrid or Berlin news channel every night and see how horrifically worse things are going on in the continent than they are in the UK and you will be much rather here dealing with these problems than being on the continent dealing with theirs.

It’s hardly uneducated; the impact on the economy has been extensively researched and is huge. Variously reported as a 6-8% hit to GDP and up to £100 billion pa. Just one example: https://cepr.org/voxeu/columns/brexits-slow-burn-hit-uk-economy
