If we ignore Brexit for a moment, inflation in the UK is about the same as in the EU and USA, if not better.

  but why should we ignore brexit? The pricing has gone from a single rate for all EU+UK payments, to cross EU-UK being 0.9% more than intra-EU. Inflation doesn't seem relevant. Whereas implementing a policy that makes international trade harder, with countries that were previously in the same trading bloc, seems entirely pertinent.

      No, you're talking about inflation, we're talking about increasing prices. Why do you think they're the same? Electronic devices aren't priced like bread.

  > inflation in the UK is about the same as in the EU and USA, if not better. If the policy is working so well why not pursue the trend and put up more trade barriers to improve your economy.
