I’m quite curious how this will end in the UK. Regardless of how much Brexit has to do with this, I think the lack of actual Brexit opportunities and the contribution it has to core inflation is at one point going to change the political landscape.

Some stuff in the media today about a Swiss style deal with the EU.

Brexit has removed one way to keep wages down - import more people.

I don't think that the central bank solution of putting up interest rates to reduce the number of jobs is going to help, people still need to eat.

We're all curious about it. It probably has to start with the main opposition actually acknowledging that Brexit is harmful. At the moment they've all been ordered to shut up about it.

Hard brexit was not grounded in reality so ultimately this has to happen.

The Conservatives should've stuck with May's compromise - now Labour are likely to take power.

This seems to coincide with inflation of food prices in the US where there was no Brexit.
