The Spin

Right narrative

While Sunak's supposedly pro-Brexit, conservative government continues to preach about the need for more international trade to boost the economy, it is ignoring the obvious solution of lowering taxes for regular Britons to stimulate economic growth. The current high tax regime is stifling an economy already facing tariffs from the EU so, if the PM isn't considering a Swiss-style agreement to resolve issues in the treasury, he should try prescribing some affordable domestic remedies.

Left narrative

Despite tangible evidence of Brexit's failure and the fact that a majority of Britons have shown disapproval for the secession, Sunak's Conservative Party continues to tout their prized 2016 referendum as a success. While Sweden enjoys access to its partnership with the EU and the consequent economic benefits, the UK has raised taxes on its people and simultaneously become the only G7 nation with a smaller economy than before the pandemic. The Brexit reality is already biting Sunak's administration.
